Thankful today is Friday...inspriration for the day...Apple Cider...can't wait to cuddle up on the sofa with a quilt to enjoy!
Ingredients
6 cups apple cider
1/4 cup real maple syrup
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves 6 whole allspice berries
1 orange peel, cut into strips
1 lemon peel, cut into strips
Directions
Pour the apple cider and maple syrup into a large stainless steel saucepan.
Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel and lemon peel in the center of a washed square of cheesecloth; fold up the sides of the cheesecloth to enclose the bundle, then tie it up with a length of kitchen string.
Drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture.
Place the saucepan over moderate heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cider is very hot but not boiling.
Remove the cider from the heat. Discard spice bundle. Pour into your favorite big mug, adding a fresh cinnamon stick and enjoy!
Of course I have to give the nutritional info...
1 cup of cider equals: 163 calories 0.1g of fat
