2 quarts
apple juice, fresh, or bottled (or use pineapple or cranapple
juice, or other juice with apple juice as the base juice)
1 teaspoon allspice, whole
1 1/2 teaspoon cloves, whole
1 cinnamon stick

Directions

hours at room temperature, in the sun, or even in the
refrigerator (you could let it sit for 1-2 days in the
refrigerator). If desired, tie the whole spices
in cheesecloth or put in tea strainer. The longer
it steeps, the stronger the taste.

temperature.

spices are added loose, strain before serving.
Serve
from the crock-pot with a ladle. Serve with clove-studded
orange slices if desired.

1/2 Cup Muscovado
or 1/4 cup honey
or any natural
sweetener of your choice to taste (you may want more sweetener
or possibly less).
