Hot Cider (non-alcoholic)

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

(1 or 2) oranges
a few (20?) whole cloves
apple cider
cinnamon sticks

Directions:

Stud the oranges with cloves. (Push the pointy end into them until the flower part is flush with the peel.) I use about 10 per orange. You may want to peel the top layer of skin off the oranges or use organic oranges if you don't want to ingest the chemicals they put on them. :-(

Put the cider into a large saucepan, and add the oranges and some cinnamon sticks (one or two will do). Heat for hours (you can just leave it on all day for a party). It gets better with age. Just pour in more cider when it starts getting low.

Enjoy!

Samantha, if you keep the booze comments up I'm gonna have to buy you a liquor store. Wink

You should make sure your oranges are organic since you don't want to eat pesticide ridden peels.

This was really tasty! I put all the ingredients in a crock pot and it worked great!

I don't quite need a liquor store, but I'd be curious as to what sort of liquor would be good with this - I'm having a holiday party, and I want to have a warm alcoholic drink, and this sounds perfect.

i would think rum or brandy. this sounds delicious, im pretty sure you could just add a little booze to the glass of your guests who choose to, and then you'd still have hot cider for everyone.

I'd recommend a good spiced rum, like Appleton Estate Jamaican Rum. Wheres the tummy warmer?

Another great way to make apple cider is just add a little bit of chai tea to the steamed apple juice. Sounds weird, but i swear its delicious!
