Hot Spiced Punch

By Stephanie

This is a recipe I have had since I was a little girl.  I have adapted it to make it easy and quick.  It’s perfect for a treat after caroling or on a chilly morning.  Or actually any time it is under 50 degrees (which is all the time here!).  I love the spices and citrus.  And you get that boost of vitamin C which if your house is like mine, we can always use this time of year!  If you don’t have whole cinnamon sticks and cloves you can add in 2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. ground cloves.
