Christmas punch

Could this marsala glögg be the best Christmas punch? It’s shockingly quick to make – five minutes – and it really does taste like Christmas with its warming blend of cinnamon, orange and, of course, brandy. Show it off in a punch bowl if you have one, or serve straight from a jug.
