Hot drinks for cold winter days!

I got these recipes from Jocelyn, me and Jessica's sister in law. Just wanted to share. The cider in particular is fantastic.

Wassail (Hot Fruit Punch)

5 qts. water
1 stick cinnamon
2 Tbs. whole cloves
3 c. sugar
1 12-oz. can pineapple juice
1 12-oz. can frozen lemonade
1 12-oz. can frozen orange juice

Combine water, cinnamon and cloves in large pot; boil together 5 minutes. Add sugar and juice concentrates. Simmer 30 minutes (do not boil). Serve warm. Makes 6 quarts. (This is my Grandma Ernst's recipe)

Hot Mulled Cider

2 qts. apple cider
1 lemon, spiral cut (or slices, it doesn't matter)
1 orange, spiral cut
1 1" stick cinnamon
2-3 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. whole cloves

Combine all ingredients and simmer 20 minutes. DO NOT BOIL. (My Mom has used 1 gallon of cider instead of 2 qts. and it works fine.)
