Ingredients

  • 4 cups sugar
  • 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ tablespoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Prep:
    I used 8-oz jars for the images, but you can use 4-oz jars just as well if it's for a small present, or if you're making a large amount (eg as party favors).
    Get your ingredients and your preferred jars ready.

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl - I use a whisk to get the spices evenly distributed.

  • Use about 1 tablespoon per quart of liquid. Less sweet liquids (like wine or cranberry juice) can use a little more.

Notes

I mostly use this in my Crockpot Hot Apple Cider. But it's also delicious in red wine, cranberry juice or even sprinkled on top of muffin batter or to dip Snickerdoodles in!
If you want, you can download the printable labels to stick on your jars! They print sized for ~6-8oz jars.
