HOT APPLE CIDER RECIPE:

2 Cinnamon stick

16 cloves (whole)

1/2 gal. apple cider

1 orange (or two)

Mixing instructions:

Stud the oranges with cloves. Put the cider into a large saucepan, add the oranges and one or two cinnamon sticks. Put on low heat for several hours (you can just leave it on all day for a party). It gets better with age. Just pour in more cider when it starts getting low.

TIP You can spike this version by adding one cup of rum, brandy or cognac. I make mine in a coffee maker . the medium size metal ones . You can start it several hours before your party and the aroma filters through your house for the festive touch ..
