How to Make Autumn Cider

  1. In a large stockpot, combine 6 cups apple cider, 1 cup orange juice concentrate, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 cups water.
  2. Stir well to ensure the brown sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Heat over medium heat until steaming, but do not let it boil. Maintain a gentle simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve immediately in mugs, garnished with cinnamon sticks and a slice of orange (optional).
  5. For ahead-of-time preparation: Prepare the cider as directed, cool completely, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
