Here is another hot drink for ya! This is your basic hot apple cider with some spices added for extra flavor. I really love this combination. It also quick to make so you’ll be warming up in no time as you sip on this.
Here is what you need to make the
Hot Apple Cider
- APPLE CIDER
- REAL MAPLE SYRUP
- CINNAMON STICKS
- ORANGE

Hot Apple Cider
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups apple cider
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 orange, cut into fourths
- 1 lemon, cut into fourths
- 6 whole cloves
- 6 whole allspice berries
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, combine the apple cider with the maple syrup.
- Stick the whole cloves into 1/4 of the orange through the peel. The add cinnamon sticks along with the lemon and orange pieces to the cider.
- Next add the allspice berries. You can place them in a small piece of cheese cloth for easy removal. I just add them and remove them with a spoon after the cider is headed. They mainly stay floating on the top of the cider anyway.
- Heat cider over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the cinnamon sticks, lemon and orange pieces, and the allspice berries. Serve cider in mugs. Makes 6 one cup servings.

One thing I was always wondering…since we don’t have cider over here, only apple juice, would the drink turn out OK if made with apple juice instead of cider?
