Tips:
- For an extra festive touch, float thin slices of orange or lemon in the punch just before serving. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also adds a hint of citrus freshness to each cup! ππ
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a few extra cinnamon candies to the mixture. Just be sure to taste as you go to achieve your desired level of spiciness. πΆοΈ
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated on the stove or in the microwave. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh, so try to consume it within a day or two for optimal flavor. πΉ
Enjoy your Christmas Tea and have a merry holiday season filled with warmth, love, and plenty of festive cheer! π ππ
