How to Make Hot Spiced Cheer
- Combine 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches), and 1 ounce crystallized ginger in a double layer of cheesecloth.
- Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and tie securely with kitchen twine to create a spice pouch.
- In a large stockpot, combine the spice pouch, 4 cups apple cider, 1 cup pineapple juice, ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup lemon juice, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the spice pouch and discard.
- Serve warm. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and orange slice, if desired. Add 1-2 ounces of rum per serving, if desired.
