This version is sheer genius. Not nearly as sinus-penetrating or as cloying as either the classic hot toddy or hot apple cider. Southern California is not apple country, so with no fresh cider at hand, I used Trader Joe’s bottled Honeycrisp apple cider and Knob Hill bourbon in the gigantic Costco bottle. The squeeze of lemon (Meyer, from our backyard) was the perfect finish. Thank you! Definitely going to be in heavy rotation till spring.

In reply to Sannse. Hi Sannse! I'm sorry for the confusion. You're on the right track. Around here, apple juice is a clear, pressed juice from apples. Apple cider is more murky because it is less filtered/kind of cloudy, and probably contains some spices. Hard cider has alcohol in it. So, if you can find unfiltered/spiced apple juice over there, that would be perfect!

I just found this in my old bookmarks, there are good things hidden in there!

One question, in England we call the non-alcoholic drink “apple juice” and the alcoholic type “cider”

I understand that in the US the first is called “cider” and the one with alcohol “hard cider”

So I’m guessing the ingredient in this recipe is non-alcoholic apple juice. Is that right?

In reply to Liz. Hi Liz, I'm sorry for the slow response. You could, for sure, but I think you'll need to brew the tea separately before adding it to the crockpot. I'd plan for about 6 ounces hot water per tea bag, per serving. Not sure how big your crock pot is, but this recipe should multiply pretty easily.

This sounds so yummy. I was wondering could you convert this to a crock pot option so you could keep it warm and serve it to a large group?
Thanks

Can’t believe I’ve only just stumbled upon your website. I just happen to have a rye whiskey, apple cider, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and lemon juice handy, too – no fresh lemons, unfortunately, but I’m looking forward to trying it tonight! Might make it with a chamomile herbal tea or lavender since I don’t want any caffeine this late.
