AllRecipes
Notes
You can substitute a cheesecloth with a stovetop-safe strainer.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apple cider
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
6 berry whole allspice berries
1 orange peel, cut into strips
1 lemon peel, cut into strips
Directions
- In a large saucepan, pour in your apple cider and maple syrup. Give a light stir.
- Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, and orange and lemon peels in a cheesecloth; fold up the sides to enclose the bundle. Then, tie it up with kitchen string and drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture.
- Set the saucepan over moderate heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the cider is very hot but not boiling.
- Remove hot apple cider from heat. Discard the spice bundle. Ladle the cider into mugs, adding a fresh cinnamon stick and lemon or orange peels to each serving if desired. Enjoy!
