Homemade Hot Apple Cider

This hot apple cider is seasoned with cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange, and lemon for a cozy drink. Start with only six strips each of the orange and lemon peel, and adjust to taste.

Ingredients

• 6 cups apple cider
• ¼ cup real maple syrup
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 whole cloves
• 6 whole allspice berries
• 1 orange peel, cut into strips
• 1 lemon peel, cut into strips

Instructions

1. Pour apple cider and maple syrup into a large stainless steel saucepan.
2. Place cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel in the center of a square of washed cheesecloth; fold up the sides of the cheesecloth to enclose the bundle, then tie it up with a length of kitchen string. Drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture.
3. Place the saucepan over moderate heat and cook until cider is very hot but not boiling, about 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Remove cider from the heat. Discard the spice bundle.
5. Ladle cider into big cups or mugs, adding a fresh cinnamon stick to each serving if desired.
