How to Make Hot Mulled Cider

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups apple cider, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 4 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks (3-4 inches long), 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the cider.
  4. Remove from heat and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves using tongs or a slotted spoon.
  5. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother texture).
  6. Serve immediately in mugs, garnished with a cinnamon stick, orange slice, and a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional).
