Notes
?If you'd like you can make this in a slow cooker - heat on low for 2 to 4 hours or until very hot then switch to the "warm" setting. If you use a slow cooker then you can use whole spices instead of the ground spices if you wish. Add the gin just before serving... I used Citadel gin because it has more juniper flavor than most and I especially enjoy it in this punch.
