- 1.5 quarts Apple Cider or Unfiltered Apple Juice
- 1 tsp Whole All Spice Berries
- 1 tsp Whole Cloves
- 3 sticks Cinnamon Sticks broken into smaller pieces
- 2 medium oranges
- 1 large lemon
Peel the oranges and the lemon. Be careful to peel just the outer layer. We do not want the pith, the bitter white layer.
In a large pot combine the orange and lemon peel. Add the broken cinnamon sticks, all spice berries and the cloves. Pour the apple cider in the pot.Let it come to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.Strain the mixture in mugs or cups.Serve hot or warm with a cinnamon stick, apple and/or orange slices.NotesThe sweetness of the apple cider was enough for us without added sugars. But if you prefer it sweeter you can add ¼ cup of Honey or Maple Syrup or even Brown Sugar to the apple cider before simmering.
