Apple Pie Moonshine

(Courtesy of wifemeetslife.com)

Ingredients:
1 gallon apple juice (or half juice, half cider)
1 1/2 c. sugar (taste before you add more, it can get pretty sweet)
4 cinnamon sticks
8 whole allspice
1 whole nutmeg
600 ml 190 proof grain alcohol (or genuine moonshine, if you can get it)
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Pour the apple juice, spices and sugar into a large nonreactive pot.  Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once the apple juice comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature (taste it for sweetness here and add more sugar if needed).

Once the apple juice has cooled, add the vanilla extract and the alcohol.  Stir together, then pour into mason jars.  Divide the spices up into the jars.

This makes enough to fill a gallon, pint and half pint mason jar.  They should ideally sit 3-6 weeks before drinking
