Battle

1 gal apple cider
8 cinnamon sticks
1 washed, sliced lemon
1 washed, sliced orange
1 washed, sliced red apple
1 tbsp cloves
1 tbsp allspice
1 gal white wine or sparkling wine
1 750ml bottle of rum

Simmer the nonalcoholic ingredients together for 1-2 hours, then add the wine and rum about 10 minutes before serving (hot). Sometimes instead of a straight gallon of cider, I toss in cranberry juice, orange juice, and/or pineapple juice in. If you don’t want to deal with cloves in your drinking cup, stick them into the rind of the orange and lemon.

Enjoy!
