I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration with their families and
friends last month. I know mine was very enjoyable. I enjoyed lots of
laughs, great food, and a wonderful time with those I love.
Typically this time of year is cold with snow, sleet, ice, rain or any
combination of these. Thinking of this weather brings to mind warm
drinks and snuggling under a warm blanket with a great book or an
excellent movie. So to assist others in staying warm on the inside
when we do get the cold weather, I decided on hot drink recipes for
this issue of the Guild Magazine. I hope you all enjoy them and that
they keep your tummy warm in the cold days to come.
Hot Spiced Cider Mix is the first recipe I have decided to use in this
issue. I fondly remember my mother making this for my brothers and
I as children, so it has good memories associated with it. This recipe
comes from the Recipes From Around An Old Fort Cookbook that so
many of us have in our homes. It is in the back in the beverages
section. It was submitted by Mrs. Charles T. Shelton (Lilyan).

½ t. ground cloves

¾ cup sugar

½ t. cinnamon

½ cup instant unsweetened tea

¼ t. ground allspice
