An easy recipe for the traditional holiday drink. If you don't have a tea ball, place spice mixture on a small piece of cheesecloth and tie with a string, forming a small pouch.

Place cloves and cinnamon in a tea ball; add ball to the apple cider mixture. Simmer mixture until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Serve from pot with large ladle.


This recipe is always a family favorite for the holidays. I usually make a kid friendly batch then one for the adults with rum added. Every year I'm asked to make this. I'd say its a hit.

The extra sugar is unnecessary, and so I made it without, only using the juices and spices.  I put some orange peel and pineapple rings in the pot with it also.  Added nutmeg, ground clove, and cinnamon sticks directly, no tea ball.  Hits the spot on a cold day very nicely.

Good recipe but too sweet as written. I eliminated the sugar and it was perfect. Every guest loved it. I added whole allspice for added flavor.

All of my guests at our party really enjoyed it. Will be making it again.
