Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my home that likes hot cider. Rather than make a big batch, I make single servings in a mug, heating the cider in the microwave, and adding the spices in a tea infuser and just letting it sit for a few minutes. Amazing recipe, LOVE IT!

This was served as a drink for guests at my daughters first birthday party. I made it in the crockpot so it would stay warm (we were outside). It was very good, but I think cider is one of those things you really like or don't. The people that did like it couldn't get enough of it. The only thing I will change next time is to either really cut back on the citrus (this time I made it with half of what was called for and took it out early b/c of another reviewer's suggestion) or leave it out altogether. It seemed to make it have a bitter taste. Also... I had no cheesecloth but used coffee filters tied with string. It worked well, so if you don't have any cheesecloth give it a try. I will probably make this recipe again.

I give it 5 stars because I brought it for a work event and they all sucked it down like it was the elixir of life. I even had to give out the recipe to a number of people!

I used much less of the syrup than called for to suit our tastes. Not having whole allspice berries on hand, I substituted with ground. I also use lemon juice instead of lemon peel because that too was not on hand. We use our own home-made cider, and now have another way to enjoy it! It was even better the next day.

This was EXCELLENT hot cider, I made double the recipe for a party and everyone loved it, many went for seconds. It tasted like I spent hours on it, when the only time spent was it sitting in the crockpot for about 4 hours. I will definately make this a keeper for holiday parties.

I made 4 times the amount in the recipe and it was gone by the end of the afternoon. The kids loved it as well as the adults. I used ground cinnamon and cloves, and added an extra quarter cup of syrup. I was out of cheese cloth so I just let the peel float for awhile and it delicious! I am looking forward to having this on Thanksgiving.

This was a big hit at my party! It was unseasonably warm that day, so many people let the cider cool off before they drank it, and it was still great. I took the advice of several reviewers. To cut down the sweetness I started with a "natural" pressed cider (read: No Sugar Added) and I used all the maple syrup called for, but I used a syrup that had less sugar in it ("light"). The fruit I just sliced up and let float (but removed it after about an hour), and I used ground cinnamon (1 tsp) and ground allspice (1/2 tsp). I will definitely be making this again!!

The apple cider was a huge hit! Everyone from kids to the adults really enjoyed it. In fact, I'm giving a surprise birthday party for my dad during December and I'm going to serve this as one of the drinks.

I doubled this recipe in a crockpot for Thanksgiving and was a little disappointed. I followed the recipe to a "T" except for the lemon peel. I thought it was a little too sweet, and would half the maple syrup next time and add the lemon. Sadly I had to dump half on it down the sink.

This was very good. I did change it a bit. I used a cup more juice, a little more syrup, and instead of peels I just sliced half and orange and a whole lemon and simmered them with everything about 20 minutes. The whole family loved it.

We LOVE this recipe! My husband would be happy if I made it every day!! I've even made it for his very finicky family and they love it too. I think it may be the only thing they have ever requested me to make again! :-)
