Recipe View 2 mins Serve (2 mins): Ladle the warm apple cider into mugs. Garnish with a slice of orange, if desired. Offer spiced rum for those who prefer a spirited variation.

For a richer flavor, use unfiltered apple cider. The sediment adds depth and complexity.
If you don't have cheesecloth, you can use a fine-mesh sieve or tea infuser to contain the spices, but be sure to remove them after the cider has infused.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking. Start with less and add more as needed.
Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as star anise, cardamom pods, or a pinch of nutmeg.
The apple cider can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the slow cooker before serving.
