How to Make Easy Holiday Apple Cider
- In a large pot or slow cooker, combine 4 cups of apple cider and 1/2 cup of dark rum (optional).
- Add 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, 2 star anise, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Gently stir to combine.
- If using a stovetop, heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cider is warmed through and the spices have infused (about 15-20 minutes). If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat (or turn slow cooker to warm). Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, or apple slices before serving.
- Ladle into mugs and enjoy!
