- This recipe comes from a nearly defunct religious sect here in the United
- States known as the Shakers. This celibate religious group ate communally,
- but with men one side of the room and women on the other. Shakers are famed
- for their quality furniture, their stewardship, and their excellent cooking.
- This drink was common at their tables.
-
- 2 quarts grape juice (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 12 whole cloves
- 4 sticks cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons whole allspice
-
- Combine all of the ingredients and heat over a very, very low flame. DO NOT
- BOIL. Let the juice sit on the flame, stirring occassionally, until it is
- hot. The longer the drink is on the flame the more the spices have a chance
- to combine with the juice (I let mine sit for about 3 hours). Strain the
- spices out of the juice. You may serve it hot, or serve it cold. A slice
- of lemon goes great with it. Served cold it is a great summer drink!
