Austrian Advent Calendar : Viennese Punch Recipe

Ingredients :

• 3 cups water
• 3 teabags (I like hibiscus fruit tea or forest fruit black tea)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4-7 cloves
• 1 star anise (optional, I’m not a fan)
• 1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 tablespoons white or brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) amaretto
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) Cointreau (orange liqueur)
  
  For serving:
• orange slices

1. In a little saucepan, bring water to a boil then turn off the heat and infuse the tea bags and spices.
2. Discard tea bags. Add orange juice and sugar then transfer to a serving jug or in my case, a tea pot. You might use this opportunity to strain out the orange pulp.
3. Add amaretto and Cointreau and you’re ready to serve with slices of orange or clementine.

Enjoy !
