How to serve Spiked Spiced Hot Apple Cider.

A fall tradition at any party. Serve this warm spicy goodness to your grown-up friends.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 gallon of apple cider
• 10 cloves
• 10 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 teaspoon orange rind
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 750 ml of dark rum

1. Pour the Apple cider into a large sauce pan.

2. Add all of the spices and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat.

3. Once the mixture has come to a boil reduce the heat to medium-low and let the cider cool down before you add the dark rum. Don't add alcohol to boiling hot cider or the alcohol content will evaporate.

4. Leave cups and a ladle near the simmering pot of cider for guests to serve themselves and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• The aroma is extra nice in your house for the next few days.
• You can put the cloves in a tea ball so that guests won't have to fish them out when sipping.
• 21+ please.
