- 2 quarts apple juice
- 2 quarts Cranberry Juice
- 1 quart pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- ½ tsp whole cloves - you can substitute ground cloves
- ½ tsp allspice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Lay a coffee filter onto a flat surface
In the center of the filter, add brown sugar, cloves, and allspice
Pull the filter up and around the spices, creating a spice bag
Secure with the twist tie
In a large pot or slow cooker, place cinnamon sticks, and add juices
Next, add the spice bag
Over high heat, bring the drink to a boil
Lower heat to simmer
place a lid on the pot
Allow simmering for about 20 minutes or longer
every once in a while, move the spice bag around - making sure the spices are released and mixed into the cider
**This drink tastes even better if the spices can sit in the juice overnight.
Serve hot. Add a cinnamon stick for a garnish, if you wish
If you are using a slow cooker, place on a low setting with the lid on and cook until warmed through
