How to Make Hot Strawberry Cider

  1. Combine 4 cups apple cider (or juice), 2 cups frozen strawberries, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 6 whole cloves in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberries are softened and the flavors have melded.
  4. Remove from heat and let the cider steep, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
  5. Carefully strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter into a pitcher or heatproof container to remove solids.
  6. To serve, pour the hot cider into eight heatproof mugs or glasses.
  7. Garnish each serving with a cinnamon stick and a fresh strawberry slice or a thin apple slice, if desired. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth.
  8. Makes 8 servings.
