4 cups natural apple juice
2 cinnamon sticks whole
3 cloves whole
1 small star anise whole
4 cups hot water
2 fruit-flavoured herbal tea bags or use hibiscus and fruit-flavoured tea bags for a more traditional flavour
2 cups orange juice
2 cups cranberry juice or use cherry juice for a more traditional flavour
apple slices and cranberries for garnish

The day before you'll be making the punch, open the lid to the apple juice container and place the cinnamon sticks, star anise and cloves inside. Put the lid back on and put the apple juice in the fridge overnight. This is an optional step. You can add these spices the next day to save time.
If you do not have time to infuse the spices overnight, add the cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise in your pot with the tea bags and hot water and steep the tea for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the tea bags. Add the apple juice to the pot along with the cranberry juice, and orange juice. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
Remove from the heat and add the apple slices and cranberries for garnish.
Serve!
