We can all use a few tips for dressing up our drinks. The recipe below calls for assorted fruit of your choice as garnish. But seriously, I’m digging the orange slice pierced with whole cloves as shown in the photo. It reminds me of the many clove pierced whole oranges I made years and years ago during holiday times. Orange and clove adds such a wonderful aroma to the drink. Blast that aroma throughout the house by simmering orange peel, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves on the stovetop. Smells delicious!
