To make the Kinderpunsch, simply place all the ingredients except for the honey and tea in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the tea bags and let them steep, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and add honey to taste. Reheat the punch until hot.
Serve hot. Optional garnishes to place in each mug include orange slices, cloves, a star anise or cinnamon stick.
Notes
There are many variations of Kinderpunsch - use the fruit juices and ratios you prefer.
