Today's recipe is for a hot beverage, perfect for a cold day or night! This recipe was actually given to me by
Dr. Tom Cheatham, the dean of Basic & Applied Sciences at Middle Tennessee State University, who I was privileged to work for. I told Dr.
Cheatham he was the most hospitable dean I had ever met. He often brought in homemade banana bread which he had made (I'll share that recipe some time!) and this hot cider. Both were consumed quickly and very much appreciated by the staff. He used a
peculator to brew this, but since I don't have one, I simply put the all spice and cinnamon sticks in a coffee filter and tie it up with a twist tie and place it in the liquid while it simmers.
Here's to you, Dr.
Cheatham!
Hot Cider
4 c. apple cider or apple juice
2 c. orange juice
2 c. cranberry juice
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. all spice
3 sticks of cinnamon
Combine all of the juices and sugar in a large Dutch oven. Place all spice and cinnamon sticks in a coffee filter and tie with a twist tie. Simmer.
