Spiced apple cider

1. Toast cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg lightly on a non stick pan for one minute to bring out the fragrance of the spices
2. Pour apple juice in the pan and turn the heat up to medium
3. At boiling point, stir in brown sugar and reduce the heat to a simmer
4. Let simmer for a good 30 minutes and squeeze in juice of half a lemon right before turning off the heat
5. Strain the juice through a sieve and let it cool before adding ice
6. For the alcoholic version, just add 1½ shot of vodka to every glass :)
