This nicely spiced, simmered beverage is so warming. For a special holiday accent, garnish the mugs using maraschino cherries and a sliced orange. Ingredients:
4 cups apple cider or juice |
3/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice |
3 whole cloves |
3 whole allspice |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 orange peel strip (1 to 3 inches) |
6 maraschino cherries |
6 orange slices |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the cider and juices. Place the cloves, allspice, cinnamon stick and orange peel on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a bag. Add to the pan.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat (do not boil). Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Discard spice bag. Serve cider warm in mugs; garnish with cherries and orange slices. Yield: 6 servings.
