Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Homemade Hot Apple Cider.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make this delightful warm cider.
Step 2
In a large stainless steel saucepan, pour in the apple cider and drizzle in the maple syrup, creating a sweet and tangy base.
Step 3
Next, take a square of washed cheesecloth and place your aromatic spices—cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel—right in the center.
Step 4
Fold the cheesecloth around the spices and tie it securely with kitchen string, forming a little spice bundle that will infuse your cider with incredible flavor.
Step 5
Now, gently drop this bundle into the saucepan with the cider mixture.
Step 6
Set the saucepan over moderate heat and warm the cider until it’s steaming hot but not boiling, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once it’s heated to perfection, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the spice bundle, letting the wonderful aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 8
Finally, ladle the steaming cider into large cups or mugs, and for an extra touch of warmth, add a fresh cinnamon stick to each serving.
Step 9
Enjoy this cozy drink, perfect for chilly evenings or festive gatherings!.
