Ingredients

32 ounces hot water
4 chai tea bags
16 ounces apple juice
16 ounces cranberry juice
2 liters ginger ale
1 green apple thinly sliced
1 cup cranberries
cinnamon sticks as a garnish, optional

Instructions

Steep your chai tea bags in the hot water for 4-5 minutes, or according to the tea's package directions. Remove and discard tea bags. Allow tea to cool to room temperature.
In a large punch bowl or gallon-sized pitcher, combine prepared tea, apple juice, cranberry juice, and ginger ale. Add cranberries and apple slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

If not serving immediately: Wait to add ginger ale to punch until just before serving so that the ginger ale does not lose its carbonation.
Fun options: Freeze cranberries (or grapes) to keep punch cold while serving.
Long party: Add an ice ring (made in a bundt pan) or large ice cubes to punch bowl to keep cold for several hours while serving.
Sweetness: This punch is very light and low in calories. If you'd like a sweeter punch, I suggest adjusting the ratio of ginger ale to apple and cranberry juices (add less ginger ale and more fruit juices).
