The Best Hot Spiced Cider recipe you’ll ever try

I would drink this every day if I could. A friend gave me the base recipe and I have tailored it over the years into my own version. This is the way I enjoy it but feel free to make modifications of your own!

Ingredients:

1 gallon unfiltered apple juice/cider (if it doesn’t specifically say “unfiltered, it’s fine so long as it’s pure juice and doesn’t have any kind of additives)

1 large orange, cut into thin slices

3 cinnamon sticks

2-3 star anise (I use 2 big ones or 3 smaller ones)

3/4 tablespoon whole cloves

1 tablespoon whole allspice

1 inch ginger root, sliced

1 whole nutmeg

Materials:

Large stove pot, or a crock pot

Optional: Cheesecloth (large enough to bundle the the orange slices and cinnamon sticks up in)

Optional: Spice ball or large tea ball (I use the one pictured below)

Directions:

Place the apple juice into the pot/crock pot. If you’re using a cheesecloth, you can bundle the orange slices and cinnamon sticks up into it (like a bindle bag or drawstring bag) so that they aren’t free-floating in the entire container. If you are not using a cheesecloth, free-floating them is fine! Either way, add all the slices/sticks to the juice.

Put everything else (spices, ginger, etc) into the spice ball or tea ball and then place it in the pot as well. If you don’t have something like a spice ball, you can free-float them too (it just makes it a little trickier to clean up when you’re done).

If you are using a stovetop: Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer and cover for 2-3 hours (the longer it simmers the more spiced it will get).

If you are using a crockpot: Put it on High Heat (or a similar setting) for 2-3 hours and then just let it stay warm (mine has a Keep Warm setting) for the duration that you plan to drink it.

Remove the fruit and spices when the mixture is done simmering and serve!

Pro tip: For serving, I recommend using a ladle that has a lip, like the one shown below. It makes spillage a lot less likely!

ENJOY!

Today's polish is SO PRETTY!!! 😍 It is an almost metallic red, which reminds me of a shiny red Christmas ornament. I feel like I need a Christmas party to wear this polish to. This is Spiced Cider from Polished for Days.
