    This hot beverage is just right after a fall or winter day outdoors or for a holiday party. Fragrant with blueberries and rich with sweet spices, Bluenose Punch is an unusual and warming drink.

    2 cups apple cider or apple juice 500 mL
    1/4 cup liquid honey or maple syrup 50 mL
    2 Tbsp lemon juice 25 mL
    1 tsp ground all spice 5 mL
