Our simple hot apple cider recipe is incredibly easy, using a store-bought cider and jazzing it up with classic warming spices such as cinnamon, clove and allspice. It&#8217;s also an excellent alternative way to use that coffee percolator that only comes out on special occasions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Hot Apple Cider<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> This recipe calls for 2\/3 cup brown sugar. Pack it down in the measuring cup to get an accurate measurement. Light brown sugar has a milder, less molasses-like flavor than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/light-and-dark-brown-sugar\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">dark brown sugar.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloves:<\/strong> Cloves add a somewhat spicy, somewhat sweet hint of flavor and fragrance to the cider. Use whole cloves rather than ground cloves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allspice:<\/strong> Ground <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-allspice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-allspice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">allspice<\/a> tastes like a combination of other spices such as nutmeg, black pepper and cloves, so it&#8217;s a lovely warming spice for hot cider. Allspice is made from the dried berries of a plant in the myrtle family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon sticks:<\/strong> Use 3 cinnamon sticks that are approximately 3 inches long, then break them into smaller pieces so they&#8217;ll fit in the percolator basket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apple cider:<\/strong> Choose the best quality apple cider you can find for optimal flavor, such as an organic variety with no additives.\u00a0 Some apple orchards sell their own apple cider when apples are in season, which makes for an extra delicious hot cider drink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the cider<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2062983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Hot-Apple-Cider_TOHD24_1109_AbbeyLittlejohn_01.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Filter basket of a large automatic percolator with brown sugar, cloves, allspice and cinnamon sticks for step one of Hot Apple Cider for Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Abbey Littlejohn for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fill the filter-lined basket of a large automatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Farberware-Classic-Stainless-Yosemite-Percolator\/dp\/B00005NCWQ\" data-name=\"www.amazon.com\/Farberware-Classic-Stainless-Yosemite-Percolator\/dp\/B00005NCWQ\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">percolator<\/a> with the brown sugar, cloves, allspice and cinnamon sticks.

Place the cloves and cinnamon sticks in cheesecloth and tie it up with kitchen string, if desired, or simply leave all the ingredients in the pan loose, then strain them out later. Bring the cider and spices to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, then let the cider simmer for 30 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this hot apple cider recipe in a slow cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker, place the lid on the slow cooker and simmer the cider for 4 hours on low. A slow cooker offers a nice way to keep the cider warm for a party or gathering, too!<\/p>\n<h3>Could I use apple juice instead of apple cider?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! Apple juice tastes just as wonderful with the cider spices added to it.<\/p>\n<h3>Could I add alcohol?<\/h3>\n<p>Hot apple cider makes a yummy alcoholic beverage!
