I did a batch for Christmas last year. I used the following.

Ingredients: (for 3 gallons)

8 cans of el-cheapo frozen apple juice
1 lb, honey
1 lb. corn sugar
1 lb. brown sugar
2 tablespoons of cinnamin
ale yeast

Procedure:

I added enough water to yield about 3 gallons of some very potent hard cider. Even with the ale yeast it was about 11% if I remember. After about a month of aging it was too strong, dry, and sharp. It was closer to an apple wine. We drank less than a gallon and left the rest in a nice dark closet. Some months later I gave it another try, delicious, still strong as hell, a couple of glasses will get you going.
