Ingredients

  • 6c Apple Juice (I typically use low-sugar)
  • 6c strong Ginger Ale/Beer (I prefer Diet Bundaberg Ginger Beer)
  • 2T Water
  • 2T Torani’s Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup
  • 1T Cayenne
  • 1/2T - 1T Any Blend of Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, and Allspice

Instructions

  • Boil together Water, Syrup, Cayenne, and Spices until they form a syrup
  • Strain the resultant syrup through a cheesecloth and a fine mesh strainer to remove as much particulate as possible
  • Mix Apple Juice and Ginger Ale/Beer with syrup

Yields

  • 12c Applefire

Notes

  • The longer you cook the syrup, the better the liquid will absorb the spices, but if you cook it too long, it can result in a slurry rather than a syrup. If the resultant mixture doesn’t fit through your cheesecloth, add some water and bring it back to a boil before straining through.
