rec.food.recipes/Frank Butcher/1999
Makes about 3-1/2 quarts

3/4 cup sugar
2 sticks cinnamon
6 whole cloves
2 cups water

1 large pkg red hots (I get about 6 oz of cinnamon hearts candy from the bulk food store)
1 qt apple cider
1 large can frozen lemonade
1 large can frozen orange juice
1 large can frozen pineapple juice
7 cups hot water (add with juice)
2 Tbsp instant tea
1 qt water (add with tea)

Mix sugar with cinnamon and cloves in 2 cups water. Boil 5 minutes. Add red hots, apple cider and remaining ingredients. Boil until big bubbles appear, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Keep refrigerated. Heat and serve as needed. Add a little water, if needed. This is wonderful at Christmas time.
