Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 oranges (, washed)
  • 8 cups (2 quarts) apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 2 4-inch cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tablespoon allspice berries

Instruction

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest from one of the oranges, and then slice the second orange into thin slices.
  • Place the cider in a large pot. Squeeze the juice of the peeled orange into the pot, and add the strips of orange zest, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice berries. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more concentrated the flavors will get.
  • Strain the cider through a fine meshed strainer. Pour the mulled cider into mugs and garnish with a slice or orange. Serve hot.
