A delightful warm beverage perfect for cozy gatherings or festive occasions.
Wrap the allspice and cloves in a cheesecloth and secure with string.
Using a cheesecloth keeps the spices contained, making it easier to remove them later.
Place the apple cider in a large pot and add the cinnamon sticks and the spice sachet.
Ensure the pot is large enough to prevent any spillage during simmering.
Slice the orange into thin rounds and add them to the pot.
Adding orange slices enhances the visual appeal and adds a subtle citrus flavor.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Remove the spice sachet and ladle the cider into mugs for serving.
Serve with a cinnamon stick in each mug for an extra touch of elegance.
