HOT
SPICED CHEER
If
you don't have cheesecloth, remove tea leaves
from an ordinary tea bag, fill the empty
bag with the cloves and ginger, and tie
it securely with the tea bag string; let
the cinnamon sticks float separately while
simmering. Serve in a decorative punch bowl
alongside a small pitcher of rum marked
with a label or card. You may want to have
an extra sachet and more of the cider mixture
handy in case you have thirsty guests.
10
whole cloves
4 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
4 pieces crystallized ginger, chopped
1 gallon apple cider
4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
White rum (optional)
