Hot Spicy Apple Cider
This is a quick and easy beverage for any winter holiday. I love it for our Christmas Eve Party and whenever I have guests for brunch. The simmering cider's spices fill the entire house with an aroma that warms the soul.
Ingredients
1 gallon bottle of organic bottled apple juice or 1 large frozen apple cider concentrate
4 cinnamon sticks
2 oranges, thinly peeled zest strips
8 whole cloves
8 star anise
Tools
measuring cups
slow cooker, crockpot
cups
mugs
ladle
Preparation
Combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker and simmer over low heat.
I like to start this in the morning of a party and let it simmer all day... fills the house with a wonderful aroma.
Very festive.
Presentation
Have a ladle for serving and lay it on a saucer or bowl to prevent soiling your tablecloth.
Small cups or mugs for serving.
This is also great for a brunch... arriving guests can serve themselves while waiting for others to arrive.
