Ingredients
- 8 cups apple cider
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon allspice berries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups spiced rum (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the apple cider, orange slices, lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, and brown sugar.
- Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Be sure to stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it steep for at least 30 minutes. The longer you let it simmer, the more flavorful it becomes. Keep an eye on it to avoid boiling.
- If you’re adding spiced rum, stir it in at the end, right before serving.
- Strain the mixture to remove the whole spices, and serve warm in mugs or heatproof glasses.
- Garnish with a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch!
