¼pt/150ml lime juice (optional)

1. Warm the wine, fruit juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaf and

longer it is left to infuse, the stronger the flavours become).

again, adding sugar to taste. (At this stage you can also add 1tbsp/15ml
of your favourite liqueur or spirit, if you wish)
4. Pour into a warmed punch bowl and serve in goblets with the
slices of fruit and a piece of cinnamon.
