Spiced Cider Recipe

Spiced cider
Spiced cider is similar to mulled wine, or at least the spices are. It adds an aromatic fragrance that seeps into every room and smells delightful. I served this recently at a baby shower I threw and people came back for seconds, thirds and fourths. Quite the popular drink if you ask me. Did I mention it is ridiculously easy to make? Great anytime, hot or cold, but best served hot, curled up in warm blanket with a good book.
Ingredients
- 1/2 gallon of fresh apple juice
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon whole all spice
- 3 whole star anise
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
Directions
Put all ingredients into a tea kettle, or large pot and bring to a boil (about 5 minutes or until tea kettle screams). Serve hot by itself or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
