Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 1/2 cups apple juice
  • 1 4-inch cinnamon stick
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 medium orange (cut into 1/2-inch slices)
  • 50 to 60 whole cloves
  • Additional cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)

Instruction

  • In a large pot, bring apple juice and cinnamon stick to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pineapple juice, honey, lemon juice, lemon peel, and nutmeg and bring to a boil once more. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick before serving.
  • While cider is simmering, use a toothpick to poke holes along the rind of each orange slice (spaced approximately 1/2-inch apart), and insert a clove into each hole.
  • Pour apple cider in a mug and serve hot with an orange slice garnish and an additional cinnamon stick, if you desire.
