Spiced Apple Toddy

Author Ida Bailey Allen

Simple, elegant and wonderfully soothing. Adding a bit of honey would also be good, especially if you’d like this beverage to serve double-duty as a throat soother. But it is very good as is.

Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet cider or apple juice
• ½ teaspoon whole cloves
• 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Heat cider, cloves, and half the lemon sliced, to boiling point.
2. Strain into cups, and serve with thin slices of fresh lemon, each stuck with two cloves.
