Hot Citrus Drink

Over the years we've enjoyed this yummy drink on cold winter evenings with popcorn. First is the regular recipe and the second is the half recipe with reduced sugar.

2 c sugar
2 qt water
2 c orange juice (fresh juice is the best, but if you don't have it, use diluted concentrate)
3/4 c lemon juice (again, fresh is best)
1 t vanilla
1 t almond extract

Mix all ingredients in sauce pan and heat through.

Half Recipe with Reduced Sugar

1/2 c sugar
1 qt water
1 c orange juice (or add a second cup for extra orange juice flavor)
1/3 c lemon juice
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract

Mix all ingredients in sauce pan and heat through.
