Punsch

Method

Slice the lemon and orange into rounds, removing any seeds. In a large stainless steel pot, combine the red wine, water, sugar, honey, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then add the citrus slices and bring to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the spices and fruit to infuse. Remove from heat and carefully add the rum, stirring well to combine. Serve hot in punch cups or heatproof glasses, ensuring each serving includes some of the spiced liquid and a slice of citrus fruit.
