6 cups apple juice or apple cider
3 cups cranberry juice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter (optional)
4 cinnamon sticks
1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp pure vanilla exract (optional)
Combine all the ingredients in a pot atop the stove, and simmer on medium-low heat until the scent fills the home. The cinnamon sicks can be place in cups as drink stirrers if desired. It takes about 20 minutes of simmering for the cinnamon flavor to start coming out of the sticks, and they can be used over several times--just rinse and leave to dry in a warm spot. Don't go overboard on the nutmeg as it gets stronger during cooking--a quick grating over the pot is perfect.
