How to Make Julie's Spiced Apple Cider

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 gallon apple juice, 1 gallon apple cider, and 1 tablespoon whole cloves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
  3. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cloves.
  4. Return the strained cider to the saucepan. Add 4 cinnamon sticks.
  5. Gently heat the cider over low heat for 5 minutes, ensuring it doesn't boil.
  6. Transfer the cider to a slow cooker (crock-pot) and keep warm on low for 1-6 hours, or until ready to serve.
  7. Garnish with extra cinnamon sticks and apple slices before serving (optional).
