Ingredients
7-8 cups organic apple cider
2 cups organic cranberry juice
10 whole cloves
10 allspice berries
2 cinnamon sticks
1 organic orange sliced into rounds (if organic is unavailable, just use a conventional one BUT
you will want to peel it first.)
*Optional: 1 cup dark ale or wine of your choosing OR ½ cup rum or brandy in the pot. If you
don’t want the whole pot spiked, you can do splashes of the alcohol in each mug. Since I
serve this to my girls too I just add wine to the mug that my husband and I drink from.
*Optional: organic honey to sweeten if you desire – I usually don’t but it is good!

Instructions
1. Tie up the cloves and allspice in a cheesecloth or small piece of tea towel using kitchen twine.
2. Put everything into a large soup or stock pot and bring to a low simmer.
3. Lower the heat and very low simmer the mixture for 2 hours before serving. Keep it on low or
use a crockpot on low if serving over hours.
