I'd give this 10 stars if I could. This is THE most delicious hot apple cider EVER. I followed the recipe exactly, made a vat of it for a Christmas party, and everyone wanted the recipe! The kids loved it, and some of us adults tried it with a dash of cinnamon liqueur, and was THAT ever delish! I highly recommend this great recipe.

Made this for Christmas Eve and it was a hit! I found the allspice berries at Wal-mart, no problem. The cheesecloth I had didn't wrap well around the peels so I just put those in the cider. Wonderful recipe. I have an extra gallon left over so I plan on making this for New Year's as well!

I served 2 gallons to a high school group. I used the ingredients calculated for 32 servings except put in half an orange and half a lemon instead of peels. Cider was heating (not quite simmering) for about an hour. 2nd and 3rd helping were requested...not a drop left!

I had never made cider and used this recipe. Everyone at the party asked for the recipe. Making again this weekend.

Tasty cider. Made for Thanksgiving and brewed all afternoon in a crock pot. Made recipe as is except didn't add maple syrup. The cider was sweet enough as is. House smelled wonderful and kids loved it.

Hi, I actually have a question: When speaking about 'cider' is it fresh apple juice or an alcoholic beverage? Thanks!

I used cinnamon and nutmeg instead of cinnamon sticks. Also added brown sugar instead of maple syrup. Then sliced and added the entire orange and lemon, not only peel. It was delicious!

I made 23 servings of this hot apple cider recipe for the very first time today and my bunco friends loved it! On this cold autumn evening in the Ozarks, this cider was perfect! I had to use allspice powder instead of the allspice berries. I highly recommend this recipe!
