Getting you started on outdoor adventures

Archive for July, 2011

Sometimes it’s nice to have a hot drink to hold onto when you’re sitting around a campfire. But the same-ol’, same-ol’ hot chocolate can get kind of boring! This is an easy, hot drink that is still sweet.

INGREDIENTS

• 10 cups apple cider or apple juice
• 1 (12-ounce) package frozen red raspberries (lightly sweetened)
• 5-inch stick of cinnamon

In a large saucepan combine apple cider or juice, raspberries, and cinnamon. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove mixture from heat.

Remove cinnamon stick. (You can fish out the berries or leave them!) Serve warm.

Makes 10 (8-ounce) servings.
