- In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the gin.
- Slowly bring the mixture to a very gentle simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to infuse the flavours into the cider. Do not let it boil as this will evaporate the alcohol.
- Once the punch is warm and fragrant, remove it from the heat and stir in the gin.
- Let the punch sit for a few minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.
- Serve warm.
