Notes
Use filtered or unfiltered apple cider for this, or use 100% apple juice.
Living in the Hudson Valley acquiring real apple juice / cider is not an issue, elsewhere it may be more of a challenge. Trying this with some of the canned "apple juices" was less than spectacular..
The spices are suggested, you may have other ideas.
The booze is optional, but depending on how cold it is outside, and how long you were out ....
