Title: Hot Apple Cider
Categories: Five, Beverages, Fruits
Yield: 8 Servings
1/2 ga Cloudy apple juice (cider)
4 (1") cinnamon sticks
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Nutmeg
6 Whole cloves
In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a boil,
reduce heat and simmer for about ten minutes.
Strain the spices before serving. Enjoy
ALTERNATE VERSIONS: You can add a sliced orange to the
pot for a citrus twist.
OPTIONAL: add some rum before serving.
NOTES: I first experienced this at Lincoln's New Salem
Historical Site during the annual "Christmas at New
Salem" put on by the Illinois Historic Preservation
Agency. It was served by ladies from the Springfield
Junior League in period dress - at the Rutledge Tavern
It was like drinking a slice of apple pie. I was so
hooked on it that I hung about and cadged the recipe.
This is a reduction in quantity version. But otherwise
true to the bone.
