Fizzy Spiced Cider With Pear

In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add the pear nectar, sugar, cardamon, cloves and peppercorns. Bring to a simmer and turn down heat to low. Let sit over heat for about 1 hour, then remove from heat for another hour. Strain the liquid to remove the spices then chill for at least 2 hours.

When you are ready to serve, add ice to each glass. For each drink add 1 cup of apple juice, 1/2 cup of spiced pear syrup and top with 1/2 cup of sparkling water. Garnish with slices of fruit if you want to be frilly.
