Elderberry Punch

Prepare the star anise and roughly break the cinnamon sticks.

Put elderberry juice, red wine, star anise and cinnamon into a pot and heat slowly, without letting it boil.

Stir in the honey and vanilla sugar and dissolve completely while stirring.

Add the port and the rum cherries to the pot, leaving out 4 cherries.

Heat everything briefly once more, still without bringing it to a boil.

Pour the punch, including spices and fruit, into heatproof glasses. Skewer one rum cherry per glass and serve alongside.
