Samhain cider (thing)

This cider is decent, but be warned that it does not work very well with substitutions for the apricot brandy. Use it to accompany any Samhain/Halloween activities!

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts apple cider
  
• ½ cup confectioner's sugar
  
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  
• ¼ teaspoon ginger
  
• ½ cup apricot brandy

Directions:

In a large pot, combine the apple cider, confectioner's sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Simmer slowly on low heat for about 15 minutes. Take care that the cider does not boil. Add the apricot brandy and then serve the cider while it is still warm. Refrigerate any leftover cider.

Yield: 8 servings
