Christmas wine and rum punch is a hot drink made with red wine, strong black tea, and orange juice, flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. Tea mellows the wine, and the spices are simmered in the tea first so the wine does not need to boil. Add the rum only after removing the pot from the heat to preserve its aroma. Wine and orange distinguish it from tea punch, while tea and rum distinguish it from mulled wine. It contains alcohol; serve children a nonalcoholic punch instead.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Steep the tea
5 minBring the water to a boil, pour it over the tea, and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags.
Simmer the spices
10 minSqueeze the juice from one orange and the lemon. Place the tea, juice, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise in a pot and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant.
Add the wine
8 minPour in the wine and warm over low heat until steam begins to rise from the surface. Do not let it boil.
Stir in the rum
2 minRemove the pot from the heat and stir in the rum. Strain the punch and pour it into mugs. Cut the second orange into slices and add one slice to each mug.
Tip: Do not let the punch boil, as the wine would lose its aroma. Adjust the sweetness at the end, as it depends on the wine and oranges.
