1

Gather and Prepare the Ingredients

To begin this mystical concoction, gather the following ingredients: 1 gallon of apple cider, 1 cup of cranberry juice, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves, 1/4 teaspoon of allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger. Once you have gathered all these spooky essentials, it's time to move on to the next step!

2

Summon the Flavors

In a large cauldron (or a regular pot if you don't own a cauldron), pour the apple cider and cranberry juice. Then, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger. Stir them all together with a ghostly enthusiasm, making sure the brown sugar dissolves completely. Don't be afraid to give it a taste at this point to ensure the flavors are perfectly balanced!

3

Heat Things Up

Place the cauldron (or pot) over medium heat and slowly bring the potion to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble away for around 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together in a supernatural harmony. As it simmers, take a moment to enjoy the enchanting aroma wafting through your home. Ah, can you smell the magic?

4

Prepare the Garnish

While your Poison Apple Cider is simmering away, it's time to prepare a spooky garnish. Slice an apple horizontally into thin rounds. Then, using a cookie cutter in the shape of a bat, cut out bat-shaped apple slices. It may take a little bit of magic to find bat-shaped cookie cutters, but trust us, it's worth it!

5

Serve and Bewitch

Once your Poison Apple Cider is nicely spiced and simmered, it's time to serve it up and work your bewitching magic on your guests. Ladle the bewitching potion into mugs or cauldron-shaped cups if you have them. Then, float the bat-shaped apple slices on top as a delightfully frightful garnish. Get ready for some serious oohs and aahs!
