Super-easy spiced cider
Ingredients-
- 1 gallon apple cider
- 4 whole cinnamon sticks
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
- Peel of one orange
- Maple syrup or honey (optional)
Directions-
Combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker. (To make it easier to remove the spices and orange peel, place them in a few layers of cheesecloth tied with a string to make a little bundle.)
Heat on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, or until spices infuse the cider. The longer the spices cook, the stronger the spice flavor will be.
Remove the spices before serving. Extra cider can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the fridge.
