Description

Ingredients

  • 1gal cider
  • 1c brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. whole cloves
  • 2 tsp. whole allspice
  • dash of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. salt (I don't use that much, just a pinch)
  • 1 cinnamon stick--6"
  • 1gal cider
  • 1c brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. whole cloves
  • 2 tsp. whole allspice
  • dash of ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. salt (I don't use that much, just a pinch)
  • 1 cinnamon stick--6"

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine above ingredients. To make it extra special, add a splash of orange juice. Bring everything almost to a boil--then--reduce heat and simmer away for 15 or 20 minutes. Strain. Serve with Love and a cinnamon stick!

Notes

I've made this with half a gallon of cider, halving the spices, since a whole gallon is too much unless it's a party. It's very very tasty. I prefer it without the orange juice, but I have put in just a dash of orange liqueur in after ladling into my mug. Evil

You could easily do this in your crock pot/slowcooker. It'd make your house smell divine for hours.

I've not tried these spices with wine, but if you do, or know of a good mulled wine recipe, do tell!
