A warm and comforting spiced apple cider with a hint of citrus, perfect for cozy evenings.
Pour the fresh apple cider into a large saucepan.
Using fresh apple cider enhances the natural flavor of the drink.
Slice the orange into rounds and add them to the saucepan.
Ensure the orange is fresh and juicy for the best citrus flavor.
Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg to the saucepan.
Adjust the spices to your taste preference for a personalized touch.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Simmering allows the spices to infuse deeply into the cider.
Strain the cider into warmed mugs and serve immediately.
Warming the mugs beforehand keeps the cider hot for longer.
