The cooler weather is starting to hit and I love snuggling up with a warm drink and a cozy blanket at night while I am reading a book or watching television. It always seems like such a luxury to have some time to myself! If you are like me you will love this slow cooker spiced cranberry apple hot punch. It’s perfect for parties or just those quiet evenings with your book!
This lightly spiced hot punch reminds me of the holidays and is a tasty blend of sweet and tart – my favorite fall drink. It is made in the slow cooker so you if you are having a party, just leave it on warm so your guests can have a hot drink whenever they choose!

This lightly spiced hot punch makes the perfect holiday drink with a wonderful balance between sweet and tart!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cranberry juice
- 4 cups unsweetened apple juice
- 2 cups brewed tea {I used a cranberry herbal tea but a black tea would work too}
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 12 whole cloves
Instructions
- In a 4 quart slow cooker {or larger}, add the cranberry juice, apple juice, tea, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir.
- Tie up the cinnamon sticks and cloves in a double thickness cheesecloth and add to the slow cooker. NOTE: If you do not have cheesecloth, you can add these ingredients directly and strain once heated.
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Discard spices. Serve warm.
I hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
This sounds so delicious, perfect for the fall, and I’m thinking after sledding too!
I do something similar for Halloween when it’s chilly outside and everyone wants to warm up a bit. Must try this cranberry version. Happy Thanksgiving!
This will be a great addition to our Thanksgiving Day. Thanks so much for sharing….I can’t wait to make it! Can you tell me where you got your adorable owl mugs and teapot that are on your hutch? LOVE them!
I got them from Superstore {It’s a grocery store in Canada if you are not from here!} They were a great deal!
Thank you for taking the time to let me know, Jenn. I’m in California and have never heard of Superstore. Now I’m madly searching online for that teapot…I MUST have it….haha. Your blog truly inspires me…so many great ideas! Have a wonderful day, Jenn!
