Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 stick cinnamon (OR pumpkin pie spice OR ground cinnamon OR allspice)

Instructions

  • Heat apple juice until hot but not boiling.
  • Place cinnamon sticks in mugs and pour apple juice over them.
  • If you’re using ground spices, add them to the apple juice as it’s heating. Only use about 1/8 teaspoon per mug, and be careful to mix them in thoroughly before pouring or else one mug will get all the

Notes

Optional: If desired, add a shot of rum, brandy or other appropriate liquor.
Great to take along in a Thermos on a cold day! With a Thermos, it’s usually best to use ground spices and shake it up well before pouring.
