Hot Apple Cider
Recipe: Minimalist Baker
Ingredients
Total Time:
20 minutes
Serves:
3
1 quart unsweetened apple juice or cider
3 cinnamon sticks
2 whole cloves
2 strips orange peel (orange part only — the white pith will add bitterness)
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large saucepan or pot and bring to medium-high heat. Once simmering, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve hot on its own or add a dash of bourbon to make it a boozy hot toddy. For entertaining, you can keep the cider warm in a slow cooker or on the lowest setting on the stovetop.
Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen in an ice cube tray to keep for longer. Reheat on the stovetop.
