Directions
Pour the apple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice into a large pot.

Gather up the edges and tie it securely with kitchen twine to make a little spice bundle. Toss the bundle into the pot with the juices. Then, add a few orange slices floating on top. Let everything simmer gently over medium heat for about an hour to let the flavors meld together.
