This fragrant holiday favourite contributes a delightfully welcoming aroma for when guests arrive. I like to use my crock-pot to slowly heat the juice, and then people can just help themselves with a ladle. This drink is a refreshing change from alcoholic beverages and pop at parties.
6 cups (1.5 L) organic, unclarified apple juice
1/2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tsp (10 ml) whole cloves
8 cinnamon sticks
Cranberries for decoration
Put the apple juice, lemon juice, cloves, and cinnamon into a large pot (or crock-pot). Heat slowly, but do not boil. Reduce heat. Keep warm. Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves before serving. Serve warm, ladled into cups or mugs. Add cranberries for decoration.

Spice Up Winter Festivities
Winter holidays can be fun and relaxing-getting together with friends and family to eat, drink, and make merry. Aromatic botanicals are traditionally a significant part of winter celebrations, from aromatic mulled wine to spicy gingerbread cookies.

Choosing a Gift Just Got Easier
For those of you who cringe at the thought of braving the malls this Christmas, your local health products store has transformed itself into a boutique of health and wellness. Health food retailers are aware that their products are not the first things consumers think about when purchasing gifts.

Living Foods for Vibrant Health
There is a great difference between cooked food and raw food. Though cooked food provides the basic nutrients of starch, protein and fat, as well as minerals and some heat-resistant vitamins, it doesn't provide enzymes. Heat, when it rises above 48 degrees Celcius, kills enzymes.

Anticipation of the holiday season seems to awaken before the Halloween moon has begun to fade. Appetites shift from ghoulish, sugary treats to rich Christmas foods consumed over many weeks.
