Equipment

slow cooker or large pot

Materials

½ gallon of apple cider
½ cup of packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cinnamon sticks
8-10 whole cloves

Instructions

Combine the apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves in your slow cooker. Stir together.
Cover and cook on low for about 2–3 hours.
Stir well, then remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves before serving. Ladle into mugs and enjoy.

Notes

Stovetop option: Combine the same ingredients in a large saucepan or pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir well and remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves before serving. Allow additional time for the cider to reach a boil.

Stir before serving: The spices settle at the bottom, so give the cider a good stir before ladling it into mugs.
