Ingredients:
* 1 gallon apple cider
* 1 tablespoon Nutmeg
* 2 tablespoons whole allspice
* 2 tablespoons whole cloves
* 5 -6 cinnamon sticks
* orange slice
* additional cinnamon stick (optional)
* Vodka (To taste or depending how cold it is outside?)
Directions:
Tie small spices in a small cheesecloth and drop into the cider; allow cinnamon to just go on its own.
1) Heat mixture on the stove and simmer for at least 30 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally to agitate the spices – don’t agitate your spouse.
2) Float orange slices on top of the cider.
3) Pour into mugs and serve, with a cinnamon stick, if desired.
Makes 1 gallon.
