Cooking Light, December 2000
Recipe Introduction
If you don't have cheesecloth, remove tea leaves from an ordinary tea bag, fill the empty bag with the cloves and ginger, and tie it securely with the tea bag string; let the cinnamon sticks float separately while simmering. Serve in a decorative punch bowl alongside a small pitcher of rum marked with a label or card. You may want to have an extra sachet and more of the cider mixture handy in case you have thirsty guests.
List of Ingredients
10 whole cloves
4 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
4 pieces crystallized ginger, chopped
1 gallon apple cider
4 cups pineapple juice
2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
White rum (optional)
Recipe
Place first 3 ingredients on a double layer of cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth together; tie securely.
Combine cheesecloth bag, cider, and next 5 ingredients (cider through salt) in a large stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Discard cheesecloth bag. Serve with rum, if desired.
Makes 22 cups.
