Sean’s Delicious Apple Cider with a Kick

Contributed by Sean Delaney

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.
