Kim got this recipe out of the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. This recipe came before the family adopted Kim’s Hot Christmas Punch as the Christmas morning favorite, but it is still a wonderful warm drink for a cold winter morning.

2 quarts apple juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 sticks cinnamon

Combine the ingredients in a large pot and allow to simmer over the stove, and the longer it simmers the spicier it will be. This can also be made in a crock pot or coffee urn.
