Preparation

1.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the oranges and lemons, avoiding the white pith; save the oranges for another use. Juice the lemons and add the lemon juice to a crockpot or stovetop pot along with the citrus zests and all remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer over low heat until the mixture is hot and aromatic (the fruits and spices will become more pronounced over time). Adjust to taste with additional sugar or lemon juice; serve by ladling into punch cups, including pieces of fruit as garnish.
