Last night it got really chilly here...almost cold to me. It made me crave a good hot apple cider so I thought I would repost one of my favorite drink recipes.
What you’ll need:
In a large pot mix cider and syrup. Place the orange, lemon, cloves and cinnamon in the cheesecloth and tie it closed. Place the spice bundle into the pot of cider and syrup and heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Remove the spice bundle and pour the cider into mugs. Serve with additional cinnamon sticks if desired. Makes 5 cups.
Cost:
apple cider - $2.85
maple syrup - $2.12
oranges - $2.25/bag
lemons - $1.99/4
cloves - $1.12
cinnamon sticks - $1.85
Total - $6.30
What you’ll need:
- 5 c apple cider
- ¼ c maple syrup
- 1 orange peel, sliced thinly

Oh, that sounds marvelous, Kathy! Now I want some too - all I have is the instant, but that'll have to do till I can make your recipe. Thank you!
