A delightful warm beverage combining the flavors of apple and cranberry with a hint of spice.
Combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, cinnamon stick, cloves, nutmeg, and honey in a saucepan.
Use a wooden spoon to stir to avoid scratching your saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent boiling over.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
Remove from heat and strain the drink to remove the spices.
Use a fine mesh strainer for a smooth drink.
Serve warm in mugs, garnished with a cinnamon stick or fresh cranberries if desired.
Pre-warm the mugs for a cozier experience.
