Instructions
Step 1: Simmer the Spices
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil.
Step 2: Steep and Strain
- Add 1 tbsp whole cloves, 2 tbsp whole allspice, and 2 cinnamon sticks to the boiling water. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until aromatic.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solid spices, and reserve the spiced liquid.
Step 3: Combine and Warm
- In a large stockpot or slow cooker, combine the spiced liquid, 2 cups freshly brewed tea, 1 cup sugar, 1 (6 oz) can frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 (12 oz) can frozen Hawaiian Punch concentrate, and 1 qt (4 cups) rosé wine.
- Gently heat the punch over low heat until it reaches a warm serving temperature, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil, as this will cook off the alcohol.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Prepare the garnish by studding thin lemon slices with a few whole cloves.
- Serve the warm punch in mugs, garnished with the clove-studded lemon slices until fragrant and inviting.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Store leftover punch sealed in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and gently reheat on the stovetop over low heat without boiling before serving.
