How to Make Warm Mulled Apple Cider

  1. Combine 6 cups of apple cider, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Add 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced; 1 orange, thinly sliced; 3 cinnamon sticks; 6 whole cloves; 1 teaspoon allspice berries; and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Add more brown sugar for a sweeter cider.
  5. Serve warm in mugs. Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick, if desired. Keep warm on the stovetop on low heat for several hours for continued sipping.
