- Add your spices. The traditional spices used in holiday punch are cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. You can also add other spices, such as allspice, ginger, or cardamom.
- Sweeten to taste. The amount of sugar you add to your punch will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Keep it warm. Holiday punch is best served warm. You can keep it warm in a slow cooker or on a stovetop over low heat.
- Add garnishes. Garnish your punch with slices of apple, orange, or lemon. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a sprig of rosemary.
