How to Make Spiced Apple Cider

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups of unfiltered apple cider, 1 cinnamon stick, 6 whole cloves (or 12 halved cloves), 1 inch piece of fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon dried, roughly chopped), and 10 peppercorns.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the cider. Stir occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices.
  6. Serve warm, optionally garnished with a cinnamon stick, orange slice, or apple slice.
