I loved this and so did my 14 month old. My sister also liked it. I used fresh ginger (defiantly dont leave ginger out) and honey stirred in at the end in replacement of the sugar. I toasted the pine nuts in a dry pan and they were a good addition. I didn't have walnuts, maybe next time because I would love to make this again. This would be great during the snowy winter season.

I love the aroma! The drink itself is like a mulled wine, but without the wine. It's a nice, non-alcoholic drink that is festive, therefore special.

I used half apple juice and half water. I cut down the amount of sugar (since I used the juice) and also cut the amount of cinnamon. I enjoyed this with some ginger snaps and it was a nice alternative to coffee.I'll make this again!
