Cranberries contain vitamin C that helps build collagen, a component of our connective tissue that holds the body together.

Put the spices in a paper coffee filter and tie it with a piece of kitchen string to make the spices easy to remove from the hot cider.

Not bad

A pretty good cider. Now I like cider, and thought this would be nice, considering the weather has gotten colder. I wish I had read the recipe completely, and then I would've kept the allspice tied in a coffee filter or something, instead of having it directly in the cider. Next time I will remember to do that and I am sure it will be even better.

This is a really great, easy drink that gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. The whole allspice can be a little pricy at the market, but well worth the splurge. Fresh apple cider is plentiful now and adding the warmth of cranberries and cinnimon was a welcome treat after a cold, windy day. It can also make your house smell wonderful.
