How to Make Jamaican Pineapple Punch

  1. Wash thoroughly the peel from one large pineapple and two oranges. Place the peels in a large bowl.
  2. Add 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 cloves, and 1 cup of granulated sugar to the bowl with the peels.
  3. Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the peels, spices, and sugar. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cover the bowl and let it steep overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
  5. In the morning, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  6. Add 1 cup of pineapple juice and ½ cup of orange juice to the strained mixture.
  7. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.
  8. Serve hot or cold. Garnish with pineapple wedges and orange slices (optional).
