As if by magic, the cinnamon candies melt, giving this spiced cider a rosy glow.

Yield: 8 servings (about 1 cup each)

1/2 (64 ounce) bottle apple cider
2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies
1 1/2 teaspoons whole allspice
1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons honey

Notes

Did You Know...Allspice is also known as Jamaica pepper. These dried berries got their name because they taste like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Be sure to buy whole allspice berries instead of ground. You can put them in a tea ball or tie them up in a piece of cheesecloth for easy removal.
