Products Used

1 lb. Dark Brown Sugar Box

Ingredients

2 quarts (8 cups) apple cider
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar
Grated peel of one lemon (no white bitter pith)
Grated peel of one orange (no white bitter pith)
6 cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
8 allspice berries
Optional: 1/4 cup light rum, brandy or whiskey

Directions

If you have a cheesecloth at hand, wrap lemon peel, orange peel, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice berries into a pouch. If you do not have a cheesecloth, you can add these ingredients to cider, but you will have to strain them out later.
In a stainless steel pan, combine cider, brown sugar, and spices. Bring to a boil and turn to a very light simmer and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool until safe enough to drink. Add alcohol and serve with apple slices.
