Add 6 cups of honey to the pot.

Add 6 cinnamon sticks to the pot.

Add 6 tablespoons of dark raisins to the pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds to the pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of allspice berries to the pot.

Add 36 whole cloves to the pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of black peppercorns to the pot.

Add 2 L of ginger ale and 1 quart of water to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
