A deeply aromatic warm punch featuring cloves, orange, and caramel notes of brown sugar.

Orange & clove punch

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
The art of punch making is about balance: the freshness of the orange counteracts the sweetness of the sugar, whilst the clove adds depth to the drink. This version is made with brown sugar, which smuggles caramel notes into the glass, further enhancing the cosy atmosphere.

Instructions

1 ✓

In a saucepan, mix the orange juice, lemon juice, water, and brown sugar. Toss in the cloves, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt.

Tip: Salt helps round off the acidity of the lemon juice, resulting in a more harmonious overall effect [Balancing taste perception].
2 ✓

Heat over medium heat until it starts to steam. Do not boil, just keep it warm.

Tip: During boiling, volatile aroma compounds evaporate, making the drink taste 'flatter' [Evaporation].
3 ✓

Leave on the stove on the lowest setting for 10-15 minutes for the flavours to meld. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves.

Tip: In warm liquid, the hard structure of spices softens, and flavour compounds leach out [Extraction].
4 ✓

Taste, and if necessary, season with sugar or lemon. Strain the drink into heatproof glasses.

Tip: If using sparkling water to dilute, add it only directly when pouring into the glass so the bubbles don't escape.
5 ✓

Garnish with an orange slice (and grated ginger if you like it spicy), then serve warm.

Tip: You can wet the rim of the glass with a little orange juice and dip it in sugar for a spectacular presentation.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute the brown sugar?
Yes, it works with honey or white sugar too, but brown sugar provides that distinctive caramel flavour.
What if it's too sweet?
Squeeze in a little more lemon juice; the acidity will immediately restore the balance.
