Ingredients
– 2 cups apple juice serves as the flavorful base and provides natural sweetness

– 2 cinnamon sticks infuse warm, spicy notes essential to the traditional flavor
– 10 cloves add aromatic depth and a slight pungency
– 2 star anise enhance the complexity with their licorice flavor
– 5 bags of fruit tea such as hibiscus (or 5 teaspoons of loose dried hibiscus petals) provide a distinctive red color and unique taste
– Honey to taste used to sweeten naturally, adjustable based on preference for a personalized touch
