Recipe for Homemade Christmas Punch
When the scent of cinnamon and orange fills the air, you know Christmas is just around the corner. Prepare a cup of homemade punch – simple enough to make in just 15 minutes, yet so aromatic it will charm even the most demanding festive guests.
Christmas Punch
Ingredients:
500 ml apple juice
200 ml orange juice
200 ml black tea (choose your favorite)
50 g sugar or honey
1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
1 orange (sliced into rounds)
Optional: 50 ml rum or orange liqueur (for the adult version – for those who've been “good” this year)
Instructions:
In a large pot, combine the apple juice, orange juice, and a cup of black tea.
Add sugar (or honey), a cinnamon stick, cloves, and a few slices of orange. For an extra aromatic touch, add a hint of grated ginger.
Heat slowly over low temperature – do not let it boil. Let the flavors combine and fill your home with the scent of Christmas.
For the grown-ups, add rum or orange liqueur just before serving – for that extra festive “ho-ho-ho.”
Pour the punch into cups, garnish with an orange slice or cinnamon stick, and serve.
Warm, aromatic, and slightly sweet, this punch will transform your evening into a true festive fairytale. Add your favorite music and a cozy blanket, and you’re ready for the perfect winter night.
Capture the Magic of Nature
Kolpa Resort may rest in winter, but nature still holds its charm in silence and peace. Take a moment for yourself: light some candles, wrap yourself in a warm blanket, listen to soft
Christmas melodies, and dream of spring when Kolpa Resort’s doors will open again.
Then, perhaps for the first time, you’ll feel the soft grass beneath your feet or once again inhale that unique tranquility only nature can offer. Until then, let your home become your personal oasis – full of warmth, serenity, and those simple moments that truly matter.
May your Christmas be peaceful, warm, and inspiring – just like the spirit of Kolpa Resort.
