As the temperatures drop and the crisp air of fall settles in, there’s nothing like wrapping your hands around a warm, comforting drink.
For the best visual appeal, use an assortment of crisp apples in this drink as recommended by our functional medicine Burbank experts.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
4 c. apple juice
3 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
2 oranges, sliced 1/4” thick
3 assorted apples, cored and sliced into wedges
1 c. dark rum (optional)
Directions:
- Place apple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange slices, and apples in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it simmer 10 minutes.

If you prefer to skip the rum, this punch is just as delicious without it. You can trust our functional medicine Los Angeles experts with that. The combination of apple juice, oranges, and spices is satisfying and flavorful on its own, making it perfect for family-friendly events or for those looking for a non-alcoholic alternative.
