Comments
This is a straightforward beverage that costs almost nothing—just citrus juice, sugar, and spices you likely have on hand at any Charlotte grocery chain. The stated 15 minutes is honest; you're squeezing juice or using bottled, stirring in sugar and spices, and serving cold. It feeds a crowd at 16 servings and requires no special attention once mixed. The only minor friction is that cloves are a pantry staple but not universal, so some households may need to buy a jar; however, they're stocked at every major chain here and you'll use them repeatedly. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for days.
