How to Make Hot Molasses Cider

Stud 2 lemons with 6 whole cloves each.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon slices, apple cider (4 cups), molasses (1/2 cup), and cinnamon stick (1, 3-inch). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons) and taste, adding more lemon juice or molasses to your preference.
Serve immediately in mugs, garnished with a lemon wedge and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
