Instructions: Chop ginger into 1 inch pieces. Place in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with 8 cups of cold water. Slowly bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove gingered water from heat, add honey and lemon juice, and stir. Cool completely in refrigerator. Juice oranges to yield 2 cups, strain juice, and chill. Strain the chilled ginger mixture into the orange juice. Add bourbon, if desired and chill in a punch bowl with a Blood Orange and Pomegranate Ice Ring. Garnish each cup with a Candied Orange Swizzle Stick, and serve.

Makes 12 servings.
