Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups apple juice
  • 2 1/2 cups cranberry juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed, can use light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 pouches apple cider drink mix 42 grams
  • 1 tsp whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a medium sized sauce pan stir together the apple juice, cranberry juice, apple cider drink mix, cinnamon sticks, cloves, brown sugar, and orange slices. Bring to a boil. Once it begins boiling, reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, uncovered. 
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Strain. 
  • Pour the drink into serving glasses or a heat proof pitcher. Add a slice or two of fresh orange and enjoy! This drink can be served warm or cold, but I prefer it warm!

Notes

I recommend using 100% cranberry juice and not cranberry juice cocktail.
