Ingredients 
US | M

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 teabags I use cinnamon and baked apple flavored teas
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice from about 5 oranges
  • 1 1/4 cups ginger beer
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 1/2 cup honey
For serving
  • sugar swizzle sticks
  • orange twists

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Remove from heat, add tea bags and let brew for 5 minutes. Discard the bags.
  • Meanwhile, combine orange juice, ginger beer, rum and honey in a medium saucepan. Stir in hot tea.
  • Bring punch to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it boils lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and pour into heat-resistant glasses. Garnish with a demitasse sticks and orange twists.

Notes

  • If you want a lighter punch, let mixture boil for a a few extra minutes. If you want a punch that’s not as sweet, leave some of the honey out.
  • The easiest way to get twists is with a citrus zester like this one, which I currently don’t have. So, I simply peeled my orange with a potato peeler, starting at the top and peeling all around to the bottom. I took off the entire peel in one go. This way you get a long, but wide peel. To get thinner strips, slice it with a knife.
