Quick to prepare, super tasty and Christmassy

Combine apple juice, orange juice, and water in a saucepan and heat. Grate some of the orange zest into the pan, then slice the orange and add it to the pan along with the cinnamon sticks. Fill a tea infuser with a few cloves (depending on the desired intensity of flavor—I used 10 cloves) and hang it in the pan. Let the punch simmer for about 10 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat, add Calvados according to your desired alcohol taste, and let the punch steep. Don’t forget to remove the tea infuser, the cinnamon sticks, and the orange slices. After a night, the punch will have a truly intense flavor. For this recipe, I added 150–200 ml of Calvados. Some people prefer it more intense. Others prefer it none at all. The recipe can also be prepared without Calvados for children.
