I use cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, whole nutmeg crushed up, whole allspice, lemon peel, orange peel and sometimes ginger if I can find it. I don't ever measure anything I just use what looks good to me.
We make this most Sunday's in the winter to strengthen immune systems for the week. Everyone loves it.
I use two mixes; 1st one is added to some water & simmered, covered for 20 min. Then mix #2 is added & the mixtures are taken off burner for 15 min. Strain all & add to 4 parts or more apple juice, 1 part pineapple or orange juice, equal parts honey & lemon juice.
#1 Mixture 3 parts Cinnamon sticks 1 part cloves, ginger, pau daco, echincea
#2 Mixture 2 parts hibuscus flowers, dried 2 parts rose hips 1 part dried citrus peel
