Hot Cranberry Punch
Ingredients:
4 cups cranberry juice
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1 Tablespoon Sweet'N Low
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions:
Pour the cranberry, orange, and apple juice into coffee maker.
Place Sweet'N Low, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks and ground cloves into a coffee filter.
Brew punch. Once it's done, remove filter.
Serve warm and top with fresh cranberries, a cinnamon stick, and a orange wedge.
Tips:
If you don’t have an electric coffee maker, you can use a slow cooker instead. The only difference is that you are going to place the Sweet’N Low, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks and ground cloves right into the slow cooker. Cook the punch on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
