Apple cider is a great drink for chilly days, and I like it better than hot chocolate! (It's healthier too!) But instead of just plain old apple cider, I made it with cranberry juice as well as apple juice.
Ingredients:
2 cups apple juice
6 cups cranberry juice
1/8 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
10 whole cloves
Method:
Add all the ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil. Allow the cider to simmer for a few minutes before serving. You could serve it with a cinnamon stick as a garnish, if you want.
Keep the cider on medium or medium low heat until you're done serving it to others. (This keeps it warm so people can have it nice and warm whenever they want as well as making your home smell lovely.) After you serve it and use it all, be sure to turn off the burner, and wash the pot.
Nully's Tips:
Before you serve the cider, it might be good to take out the cinnamon and cloves if you can, so someone doesn't find it in their drinks! You could strain it as you serve it, or you can put the cloves, nutmeg and cardamom in a tea ball which allows the flavors of the spices into the cider.
