This is a really great, easy drink that gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. The whole allspice can be a little pricy at the market, but well worth the splurge. Fresh apple cider is plentiful now and adding the warmth of cranberries and cinnimon was a welcome treat after a cold, windy day. It can also make your house smell wonderful.
