Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 gallon fresh, unfiltered apple cider (non-alcoholic)
1 orange
12 whole cloves
4 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
15 allspice berries
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
7 whole cardamom pods
2 tablepoon brown sugar, optional

Steps:

  • Simmer the apple cider with orange and spices: Pour the apple cider into a 3-quart saucepan, cover, turn the heat on medium-high. While the cider is heating up, take a vegetable peeler and peel away a couple thick strips of peel from the orange. Press about half of the cloves into the peeled part of the orange. (You can also just quarter the orange and add the slices and cloves separately. I just like seeing the orange bob up and down.) Place orange, orange peel strips, the remaining cloves, and the rest of the ingredients into the sauce pan with the cider. Keep covered and heat the mulled cider mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes on low heat.
  • Strain out the orange and spices: Use a fine mesh sieve to strain the hot mulled cider away from the orange, cloves, and other spices. If you want, you can add a touch of bourbon, brandy, or rum to spike it up a bit. Serve hot. Add a cinnamon stick to each cup if desired.
