Ingredients
- 1 litre apple juice (preferably unfiltered)
- 500 ml apple cider
- 2 apples
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2–3 cloves
- 1 star anise
- 1 vanilla pod, split
- 100 ml rum
- 50 ml amaretto
- 1 orange
- honey or brown sugar (to taste)
Directions
Prepare the apples: Peel the apples and cut into small cubes. Pour the apple juice and cider over them.
Add the spices: Put the cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, orange peel and the scraped vanilla pod and shell in the pan.
Heat the punch: Heat the punch slowly, but do not boil it. Let it steep for about 15–20 minutes so that the spices release their aroma.

Sweeten: Sweeten to taste with honey or brown sugar.
Remove the spices and enjoy the punch while it's hot.
