Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, add the apple cider. Stir in the brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg until the sugar is dissolved and bring to a low boil.

Step 2

Stick the pointy ends of the cloves into the orange so that just the buds of the cloves are visible. The entire orange should be covered with the cloves.

Step 3

Add the orange to the cider and reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Serve in warm mugs with a cinnamon stick garnish. For adults, add bourbon to the cider.
