Ingredients
At a glance
- 1 gallon apple cider
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp whole cloves
- 1 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Methods/steps
- Slice up the orange and the lemon into very thin sections, then scatter them around the apple cider, swirling the liquid well. Throw in the cinnamon sticks and cloves, then add the allspice. Let the mixture set for half an hour to allow the spices to diffuse throughout the drink.
- Then place the liquid over a low flame and heat gradually. Simmer for an hour, then allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve by pouring through a strainer, then top each cup with a bit of nutmeg. For a variation with a little kick, add brandy or mead about 5 minutes before done simmering.
