Salem Apple Cider

A popular New England style of cider, with a bit of brandy to keep you warm on those chilly fall nights.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups apple juice
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 cup brandy

Tie the loose allspice berries and broken cinnamon stick into a piece of cheesecloth, and drop in a large saucepan along with all the other ingredients (except for the brandy).
