spiced cider recipes

Thank you Taste of Home for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 cinnamon sticks

  • 1 piece fresh ginger root (thinly sliced)

  • 1 tsp whole allspice

  • 1 tsp whole cloves

  • ½ tsp cardamom pods (crushed)

  • 2 quarts apple cider

  • Rum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the first five ingredients on a double-thickness cheesecloth. Gather the corners of the cloth to enclose the spice mixture and tie it securely with a string. 

  2. Place the cider and spice bag in a 3-quart slow cooker. Cook, covered, to allow the flavors to blend for 2-3 hours. Discard the spice bag and, if desired, stir in the rum.
