If you\u2019re wanting something other than hot chocolate<\/a> to drink this winter, let me introduce you to this warm spiced holiday punch. Cranberry juice with fresh apple, pear, orange and some spices. Finished with some (optional) rum and (preferably) served warm, you can practically replace your evening tea with it. Or drink it at 1pm on a random day like I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The recipe makes enough for 2 servings, but you can easily multiply it to make more. It\u2019s just as simple to make, whether you do one or the other. It\u2019s really just combining ingredients and letting them simmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What goes into this spiced holiday punch <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The base is cranberry juice, it\u2019s tart yet sweet and a staple winter flavour. Add to that some more fruitiness and spices, and you\u2019ve got a near perfect combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

More fruitiness being slices of fresh orange, pear and apple. You can replace the apples with more pears and vice versa, I just liked the mix. Plus, they make for some delicious snacking after the drink is done since they get poached in the simmering liquid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To balance out the tartness of the fruit, I added maple syrup and brown sugar, but you can also use all brown sugar. Or even another sugar of your choice. For example date sugar would be delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Same goes for the spices. The recipe includes cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, but if you don\u2019t like one of them simply leave it out or replace it. Other good spice options include star anise, cardamom or ginger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, rum. If you have spiced rum even better! Bourbon would also work. To check which alcohols are vegan I always use Barnivore<\/a>, they have an extensive list of them. But if you want to keep this alcohol-free, you can replace it with apple cider (as in unfiltered apple juice) or just apple juice. Either way this warm spiced holiday punch is sure to be comforting any way you make it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
