Method

  1. Heat the water, sugar, ginger, rosemary sprig, cinnamon stick, and star anise in large saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes; do not boil. Stir in cranberries and cook, stirring often, until cranberries just begin to pop open, about 3 minutes. Off heat, let cranberry mixture cool completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer to bowl or storage container, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 4 days.
  2. Combine the cranberry mixture, seltzer, cranberry juice, and orange juice in large punch bowl. Add an ice ring and garnish with rosemary sprigs and orange slices. Serve in chilled punch cups.
  3. NOTEAn ice ring does the best job of keeping the punch chilled for several hours without overdiluting. If necessary, 8 large ice cubes can be used instead.
