3 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons whole cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ gallon apple cider
1 cup sugar
2 cups orange juice
½ cup lemon juice
1 cup brandy (any fruit flavor)
Tie cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in cheesecloth. Simmer cider and sugar with spices for about 15 minutes. Remove bag of seasonings. Add orange juice, lemon juice and brandy. Heat to bubbling and serve. Makes 3 quarts.
Note: Great apres ski!
Nancy’s Notes: Great! I made without the brandy and it’s still very tasty. I like to keep a pitcher warm on Christmas morning during gift opening.
