Ingredients

• 1 cup (8 ounces) freshly brewed coffee
• 1 cup (8 ounces) pure apple juice
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 thin slices of orange, rind intact
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 kernel allspice or 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar or wildflower honey

Preparation

Step 1

Brew the coffee.
Heat some water to boiling and pour into two cups (or mugs); cover with saucers while you prepare the drink.
In a medium size heat-resistant glass or stainless steel saucepan, simmer the coffee and apple juice with all the spices, orange slices and sweetener.
Warm over low heat for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally.
Empty the cups of the hot water, then strain the coffee-apple mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into the cups.
Serve immediately with ginger snaps or graham crackers for a toasty-warm afternoon treat.
