Spice up your apple cider, or other winter beverages, with juniper berries, appearing right now on the juniper trees (aka cedars) in your neighborhood.
1 tsp juniper berries
1 tsp whole allspice
1 tsp whole cloves
fresh orange peel
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3 cinnamon sticks
Combine ingredients into a tea filter or cheesecloth square, and secure it shut. Each bag will spice a 1/2 gallon of apple cider. Add the bag to the cider and simmer for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
