Never let the punch boil—I learned this the first time when I got distracted and the flavors turned bitter and one-dimensional, teaching me that slow warmth is always better than high heat
Fresh spices make all the difference; if your cinnamon or cloves have been in the cabinet for over a year, buy new ones because old spices fade into invisible background noise

Make this the night before a gathering and reheat gently in the morning—the spices continue to infuse overnight, making everything deeper and more delicious
If you forget to buy honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar work beautifully, and in a pinch, a few dates blended into the warm punch add natural sweetness without the processed taste
