Fresh, hot apple cider during the holidays makes for the perfect family-friendly drink everyone can enjoy while sipping fireside with the ones you love. And the best part? The warm scent of apples and spices that lingers throughout the house. The full recipe is below. Cheers! 🍎 🍊 Ingredients: -12 -14 apples, sliced (I recommend using a mix of Gala, Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Fuji & Golden Delicious) -5 whole cinnamon sticks -2–3 whole star anise -3 whole cloves -1 whole nutmeg -2 whole allspice - 1 whole orange, cut into slices - 1 cup brown sugar (after tasting, add more to achieve desired level of sweetness) Method: In a large pot (or large slow cooker), combine all ingredients. For the nutmeg, grate some into the pot before dropping in the whole nutmeg. Cover the mixture with water and bring it to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce to low heat, cover, and let it cook for 1–2 hours. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor. (If using a slow cooker, allow up to 3 hours.) Taste and adjust as needed. Simmer longer for a richer flavor, or add more brown sugar for extra sweetness. Allow to cool slightly, then strain through a large fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solids. Reheat, and serve in a glass mug and garnish with a cinnamon stick and orange wheel.
