Author: Ashley at the Recipe Rebel
Serves about 10 cups
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3:05
Ingredients:
1 liter apple juice, pure unsweetened
2 cups orange juice, pure unsweetened
1 liter cranberry juice, unsweetened
1/2 cup sugar, stevia, honey or other sweetener (to taste)
3 cinnamon sticks, whole
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Stir.
Cook at least 3-4 hours on low or until hot. Keep warm as long as needed on the low or warm setting. Leftovers refrigerate wonderfully and reheat just fine!
Recipe Notes:
I was going to add whole cloves and allspice, but I couldn't find any! I would never add ground spices to a cold drink, but the ground spices dissolve completely as the cider is heated so it works just as well. If you can find ground cloves and allspice and want to go that route, it would also be amazing!

Chai Spiced Cocoa
Author: The View from Great Island
Yield: serves 4
Ingredients:
5 cups whole milk
4 Tbsp dark unsweetened cocoa powder
4 Tbsp confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp cornstarch
4 star anise
1 cinnamon stick, broken in 2 pieces
6 whole cloves
1/2 tsp white peppercorns
1/2 tsp whole allspice
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp cardamom pods, lightly crushed
3 thin slices fresh ginger
a used vanilla bean (optional but delicious)
Instructions:
Pour the milk into a saucepan and put over low heat.
Mix the cocoa, sugar, and cornstarch with a little water to make a loose paste. Pour the paste into the milk and stir or whisk to combine.
Add the whole spices and let the cocoa slowly heat until it just comes to a simmer. The longer you let it steep, the stronger the spice flavor will be.
Strain into large mugs and serve with whipped cream. Garnish with a star anise if you like.
