How to Make Buttered Orange Cider
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups apple cider and 2 large oranges, thinly sliced.
- Place 6 whole allspice berries, 4 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1 tablespoon orange zest onto a double layer of cheesecloth.
- Bring up the corners of the cheesecloth and tie securely with kitchen twine to form a spice bag.
- Add the spice bag to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- While the cider simmers, in a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well blended.
- Remove the spice bag from the saucepan and discard.
- Ladle the warm cider into mugs.
- Top each mug with a spoonful of the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Serve immediately while still hot or warm. Enjoy!
