• Add the 1 cup cranberries, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup water, 2 tbsp cumin seeds, and 4 cinnamon sticks to a small saucepan. Place on a medium heat. Gently heat and stir occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. Ensure that the honey is completely melted and you notice the spices have become intensely fragrant. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Transfer to a large glass, or ceramic, punch bowl. Add the 3 cups cranberry juice, 2 oranges, and the 1/2 cup vodka, (if you are using it ). Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, but it is even better if left in the fridge overnight.
• Once the mix is thoroughly chilled, remove from refrigerator. Remove the orange wedges and squeeze each of them into the bowl, and then discard the orange peel. Strain the mixture through muslin cloth or a fine mesh strainer and discard any solids.

To Serve

• Fill your serving glasses with ice and then pour in your seasoned cranberry mix. Fill each glass to about a third. Then top up each glass using the chilled 3 cups sparkling water and give a gentle stir to combine.
• Taste and sweeten with additional honey, if desired. Garnish with 1 cinnamon stick and the 6 rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately.
