Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Apple cider
- 3 cups Cranberry juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Cinnamon stick
- 6 pieces Whole cloves
- 3 slices Orange slices
- 0.5 cups Fresh cranberries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, and brown sugar.
Stir the mixture until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and orange slices to the pot.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to just below a boil.
Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let the cider gently simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Carefully strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve to remove the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices.
Ladle the warm cranapple cider into mugs and garnish with fresh cranberries or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
