Kinderpunsch -alcohol-free hot punch

"Kinderpunsch" is an alcohol-free hot punch, served mainly in Christmas markets in Germany.
Substitute grape juice for apple if you'd rather.

Ingredients:
1 cup water
2/3 cup white sugar
2 pinches ground cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 cups apple juice
1 lemon, sliced

In a 3 quart saucepan, bring water, sugar, cloves and cinnamon to boil.
Stir in juice and heat through. Do not boil. Take spices out and pour over lemon slices in serving bowl. Serve warm. Makes 1 1/2 quarts

Very sweet- and tasty! I made it with the apple juice - never tried it with the grape.
