There is nothing like a hot beverage in cool weather to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Many new recipes are popping up for them I would like to try. This one sounds especially good to me. How could you go wrong with pomegranate and pineapple juice?! BONUS: the cinnamon and cloves simmering on your stove will make your house smell divine, naturally. Simmer right before your guests arrive to fragrance your home.
