Instructions: To fill the house with the aroma of Christmas spices, brew a spicy mixture on the stove. Simmer all ingredients in a medium size pan. Add additional water and spices when needed.

Note: I have updated this by using one of the little "crock-ette" slow cookers. It works GREAT!

Sharon Says: I have been brewing this for well over 25 years. There is never a person that walks in the door that doesnt comment about the wonderful fragrance. I start the "brew" the day after Thanksgiving and keep it going (by adding fresh spices when needed) until January 2 every year. It has become my own tradition that many of my friends and family have included among their own.
