Hot Apple Cider.


As the cold winter months approach, hot apple cider sounds better and better. Of course you don't have to stick with the usual apple...you can try different kinds. I have saskatoon berry cider and cranberry/raspberry cider. Mmmm...it definitely helps keep warm these bones. :)

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 gallons Apple Cider

Maybe this is a silly question, but 5 cloves of what? DH and I had some delicious hot apple cider at Bob Evans last night, and now we're itching to make some homemade. :)

Ooohh... *hand to forehead* I just answered my own question (don't you just love those lightbulb moments?). Cloves, as in those spice buds. So *that's* what gives apple cider that spiced flavor... Hmm...

Sorry for wasting comment space. lol Thanks for the recipe!
