3-4 tablespoons honey (depends on how sweet the wine you're using)
cup or so of fresh cranberrries (of cubes of apple if not in cranberry season)

1. Put the cider and all spices in a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
3. When on low heat add the wine. Do not boil again so the alcohol won't evaporate too much, just let it warm.
4. Add the cranberries and simmer for a few more minutes until they color the liquid a bit. less
