Ingredients

  • Apple Juice or Apple Cider of your choice – I use natural and no sugar added.
  • Cinnamon Sticks

Instructions

  • Pour your apple juice/cider into your urn or crock-pot.
  • Add 1-2 cinnamon sticks
  • Let it brew a long while!!!  This is the true secret to my recipe – keep it simple and brew it long.

Notes

If you use a crock-pot let it go on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours and then switch to warm.  If you use an urn, let it go until the light turns on at minimum.  The longer you let it go the more the flavor.  The cinnamon seeps in the longer it brews.  You’ll notice the color of the apple juice/cider will turn darker in color as well.
