There is nothing quite like the aroma of apple cider simmering on the stove with whole spices. The cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice slowly release their warmth into the cider, turning plain apple juice into something magical. Make a pot when friends come over and the whole house will smell incredible.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh apple cider (unfiltered)
- 3 cinnamon sticks (Korintje)
- 6 cloves (whole)
- 1 tsp whole allspice
- 1 small orange, sliced into rounds
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Pour the apple cider into a medium saucepan. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, whole allspice, and orange slices.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Do not boil.
- Let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the spices to fully infuse.
- Strain out the spices and orange slices, then ladle the warm cider into mugs.
Notes

- Add a few slices of fresh ginger for extra warmth and a slight kick.
