- Gently push the cloves into the skin of one half of the orange.
- Pour your fruit juices and the water into a saucepan.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, orange slices and star anise if using.
- Heat the punch over a low heat, bringing it to simmer. Simmer for around 20 minutes then leave to cool slightly.
- Pour the punch mixture through a sieve into a bowl. You no longer need the orange and whole spices so you can discard these.
- Cut up the other half of the orange in to slices.
- Add the slices of orange and apple to the bowl together with the cranberries or redcurrants and the lemon juice.
- Now your punch is ready to serve! Use a ladle to pour some punch into a mug – drink it and eat the fruit!
