Fruit Punch

For a nice color and a rounded flavour, red grape juice or a red mixed fruit juice works well.

Before adding, press the vanilla briefly with the back of a knife so the aroma is released more quickly.

If the heat is too high, the fresh orange notes will evaporate — better to heat gently only.

If you want a stronger aroma, let the spices steep for an additional 2–3 minutes.

Add the fruit only shortly before serving so they stay fresh and don't overcook.

Warm the cups with hot water beforehand so the punch stays pleasantly hot longer.
