Hot Spiced Apple Cider image

I live in South Texas and as a rule, it doesn't get too cold here, except on those occasions we get a freeze... That is when this recipe tastes the best! If it isn't REALLY COLD outdoors, it just doesn't taste as good or satisfying! Some of you folks up north would love this!

Categories     Hot Drinks

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 gal apple cider (not apple juice) must be cider!
1 heaping tablespoon whole allspice
1 heaping tablespoon whole cloves
3 or 4 whole cinnamon sticks (the fresher the better)
2 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Must have a large cooking pot with a tight fitting lid. This will cook on the stove. Empty a one gallon jug of real apple cider into the pot. Turn on the heat to medium-hi heat.
  • 2. Put spices into the pot, as well as the cinnamon sticks and stir well. Stir in the sugar. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, then reduce heat to low and simmer another 40-45 minutes, more or less... Remove the cover every 10 minutes or so to stir and cover it again.
  • 3. During this time, the smells will waft through the house and bring the Holidays with it! Strain out the spices and cinnamon sticks, stir and keep warm on the stove. If it cooks down after a certain amount of time, it may taste too strong, so you may add some more apple cider to it. This is a wonderful drink to serve at your holiday parties and kids love it! I do know this will warm you like no other hot drink I know of! Bon apetit' Y'all!

I'm allergic to cinnamon, so I used nutmeg instead. The cider was still delicious.

This cider is too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cider turned out too tart. I think I'll add more sugar next time.
