How to Make Red Hot's Hot Apple Cider

  1. Combine 4 cups of apple cider and 1 cup of red hots candies in a large saucepan or coffee pot.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the candies are completely dissolved and the cider is warm (about 10-15 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. For microwave preparation: Combine cider and candies in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until candies are dissolved and cider is warm (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful as the mixture may be very hot.
  4. Once the candies have dissolved, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with cinnamon sticks or orange slices for an extra touch of autumn charm.
