Recipe Instructions
-
Stick cloves into the orange and set it aside. This step infuses the orange with the warm, spicy flavor of cloves, enhancing the aroma and taste of the cider.
-
In a large pot or microwave-safe container, heat the apple cider over medium heat or in the microwave until it’s warm and fragrant. This will take approximately 5 minutes on the stovetop or less if using a microwave.
-
Once the cider is warmed through, add the cinnamon sticks and honey. Stir gently until the honey is completely dissolved, infusing the cider with sweetness and warmth.
-
Carefully place the clove-studded orange into the pot with the cider mixture. Allow the cider to simmer gently for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the orange to release its essence into the cider.
-
Once heated through and infused with all the delightful flavors, ladle the cider into mugs directly from the stove. Optionally, garnish each mug with a slice of lemon or an additional cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
