Apple Cider Brew

• 2 quarts fresh apple cider
• 1 orange, unpeeled and cut into slices
• 3 drops Lemon essential oil
• 1 drop Cinnamon Bark essential oil
• 1 drop Clove essential oil
• 1 drop Nutmeg essential oil

Fruity Spiders

• Wooden kebab sticks
• 1 dark plum
• Black grapes or blueberries; green or red apple chunks, green or red grapes, or most other tasty fruits will work, too.
• Plastic googly eyes
• Nut butter

Directions 

1. Use Thieves^® Fruit & Veggie Soak to clean fruit.
2. Gather 16 equally sized wooden kebab sticks. Break them into 4-inch sections.
3. Skewer grapes on eight of the sticks so that the grapes touch, leaving one grape covering one end as a connector, but leaving the other end bare to poke into the plum.
4. Repeat on the other eight sticks, inserting the exposed ends into the joints of the previous set of grape sticks at an angle.
5. Once connected, poke legs into the plum, with four legs on each side.
6. Gather two googly eyes and attach to front of plum with your choice of nut butter.

Tart Overbites

Yield: three sets of teeth

• 1 apple, red or green
• Smooth nut butter
• Yogurt raisin balls

Directions

1. Use Thieves^® Fruit & Veggie Spray on fruit.
2. Halve and core an apple and cut into ½-inch slices
3. Take two slices and spread nut butter on one side of the apple flesh. It’s okay if it gets messy!
4. On one apple slice, line yogurt raisins around the outside edge.
5. Place the other slice on top, apple peel facing out and nut-butter side angled so that it looks like a mouth.
6. Optional: Spritz with diluted lemon juice to prevent browning of the apple.
