How to Make Cajun Christmas Scent

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of apple cider, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cinnamon sticks. (Optional: if you prefer a chunkier consistency, skip the straining)
  6. Serve warm as a delicious holiday beverage base or use as a glaze for your favorite desserts. Enjoy the enchanting aroma that will linger in your kitchen all weekend long!
