Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
½ gallon fresh apple cider
1 cup apple brandy
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
10 thin strips orange zest
10 small cinnamon sticks
Directions
Combine apple cider, apple brandy, 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, and salt in a pot over medium-high heat. Simmer until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
Pour apple cider mixture into heat-proof mugs. Twist orange zest strips between your fingers to release the essential oils; drop 1 into each mug. Add 1 cinnamon stick to each mug.
Recipe Tip
For best flavor, use fresh-pressed apple cider, available in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
