Ingredients

  • 4 cups apple cider (apple juice also works, but isn't quite as good)
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 8 whole cloves
  • slice of lemon
  • thin apple slices, to garnish
  • extra cinnamon sticks, to garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium-size pot over medium-low heat, add all ingredients. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
  2. Strain (or just pick out the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and lemon) before serving.
  3. Garnish with thin apple slices and extra cinnamon sticks. Serve.

Recipe Notes

Pssst, spike each mug of apple cider with 1/2 a shot of bourbon! Get that morning started right ;)
