How to Make Hot Orange Spice Cider
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups apple cider, 1 orange (zested and juiced), 2 cinnamon sticks, 6 whole cloves, 2 black tea bags (or 1 tsp loose leaf black tea), and 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and continue to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and carefully remove cinnamon sticks, cloves (using a slotted spoon or strainer) and tea bags.
- For individual servings, pour the hot cider into pre-heated mugs. For a party, transfer to a pre-heated slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours.
- Garnish each serving with a thin orange rind twist.
- (Optional - for crockpot): Tie the cloves and tea bags in a piece of cheesecloth before adding to the crockpot for easy removal.
