  • 6 ounces bourbon
  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  1. In a saucepan, bring apple cider and maple syrup to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and add tea bags, ginger, and cardamom. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove and discard the tea bags and spices, then stir in the bourbon and lemon juice.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a warmed 32- to 40-ounce thermos.
