LOVED IT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family for Thanksgiving last year and they loved it. I did make one change. Since I am a diabetic I used... Splenda Brown Sugar and low sugar cranberry and apple juice. My family could not tell the difference. Now I have to make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My son puts in a speacial order for it.Read more

Super Easy and Delicious!

I made this for Thanksgiving a few years ago. Now it's my turn to do Thanksgiving again and this was the first thing I... thought of making! It was absolutely delicious. I made this on the stove top and it came out wonderfully. I just all the ingredients in a coffee filter and tied off the top and threw it in the pot with the liquid. It came out great!Read more

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I couldn't find apple cider in the grocery store so I decided to try this recipe. It's WONDERFUL, and so easy to make. I... put all of the ingredients in a dutch oven on top of the stove instead of running it through the Percolator...it turned out great, and the dutch oven kept the drink hot for several hours. This is my new favorite hot drink.Read more
