Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Pour the apple juice into a saucepan with the lemon juice, cinnamon, and cloves. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil to release the aroma of the spices.
Add the hard cider and heat the drink through without boiling. Finally, stir in the honey.
Pour into glasses and garnish as desired, for example with dried apples.

Tip: Choose a drier hard cider and adjust the sweetness with honey. Strain the drink before pouring it into glasses, as biting into a clove releases an unpleasantly pungent flavor.
