I don't know about you, but this time of year is awfully cold where I live.
Here is a GREAT recipe I got in my Food and Nutrition Communications Class that will make winter a little more bearable.

1/2 gallon apple cider
4 cups pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup cinnamon candies
1 Tablespoon whole cloves
2 whole cinnamon sticks
1 fresh orange (optional)
In a large sauce pan, combine cider, pineapple, and OJ. Set aside 6 whole cloves. Place remaining cloves in tea ball. Place teaball and cinnamon into juices and put over medium heat. Bring to simmer and add cinnamon candies. Stir until candies are dissolved. Keep on low heat to warm or place in crock pot on desired heat setting. If desired place remaining cloves into an orange slice and float on top. (It looks pretty).

8oz is 140 calories, which isn't bad for a juice based drink.
To cut calories when we did this we used Trop 50 juices and cut the cinnamon candies.
If you are 21+ you can use the rest of the pineapple juice for blue Hawaiians!
1.5oz blue carraco
1.5 oz malibu coconut rum
