APPLE CIDER like you've never had before!

Ingredients
...1 apple
...2 teaspoons whole cloves
...1 orange, thinly sliced
...2 quarts apple cider
...1/2 cup light brown sugar
...Pinch grated nutmeg
...1 tsp allspice
...1 cup dark rum**
...Cinnamon sticks

Directions
Stud the apple with the cloves. In a medium pot, combine the studded apple and remaining ingredients except the rum. Slowly bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the rum. Discard the apple. Ladle into mugs and garnish each with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.
**We served Captain's Rum on the side, and put in approx. 1 shot per coffee mug serving.

Here's the link in case you have any questions about ingredients, etc. There are lots of attached links for further help. Undoubtedly, one of the most delicious holiday drinks I've ever had! We served it at 11pm prior to our Midnight Madness Black Friday Shopping at the Outlet Malls. We even had 'to-go' cups for the trip! so Perfect!
