Ingredients

2 ¾ cups apple cider
¼ cup pure maple syrup
3 bags cinnamon-flavored black tea
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
3 cardamom pods, split
6 ounces bourbon
¼ cup lemon juice

Directions

Bring cider and maple syrup just to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Add tea bags, ginger, and cardamom. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags and spices. Stir in bourbon and lemon juice.
Transfer to a warmed 32- to 40-ounce thermos.

Cook's Notes:

You can use pear cider instead of apple.

For a chilled cocktail, after removing tea bags and spices, put saucepan in a bowl of ice water and stir occasionally until chilled. Add bourbon and lemon juice; transfer to a chilled thermos.

Editor's Tip:

The right temp! Warm a thermos by filling it with boiling water. Drain when ready to add the cocktail. For cold drinks, do the same, but fill with ice instead of hot water.
