I LOVE this cider recipe. This is my favorite and I made it SO many times over the holidays. Thanks for a great recipe.

I skip on the brown sugar, salt, and orange. I sub whole allspice for ground, cinnamon stick for ground cinnamon, and use apple juice. I'm usually the only one who wants any so I make it 1 cup at a time and "wing it" on the measurements. I strain out the clove and "floaties" from the other spices. It makes a tasty hot treat on a cold Colorado winter night.

It was okay, nothing real special though. Followed the directions exactly, except that I had to use a slow cooker which may have had an effect on the flavor.

I thought this would leave "mush" in the filter, it really used up almost everything but the oranges & cinnamon stick

This was great I used the coffee pot, and I didn't have any brown sugar so I just used white and less than it called for. Also all I had were ground spices except for the cloves and added it all in the filter and then mixed it up a bit, and left out the oranges.

Made this for work and everyone loved it! I made mine in a crock pot as well; wrapped the spices & sugar in one coffee filter and the orange wedges in another, simmered on low and it came out perfectly. Tasted great too! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was delicious and made the house smell so fragrant. I followed others suggestions and heated and served this up in a slow cooker. I also put all the dry ingredients in a paper coffee filter and sealed it with a rubber band. I plan to make this every fall.

Excellent! Very delicious and versatile recipe. Any little bit of left-over juice can go in here for added flavour. Gets better the longer it is simmered.

This hit the spot on Christmas morning. We wanted something warm, sweet and different (to us anyway) to go with our coffee and settled on this. It seemed a bit strange to put all that stuff in our coffee pot but it worked like a charm. We used most of a two-quart bottle of cider right away and wound up going through twice that. Will be making again for certain.

I made this for the large Thanksgiving gathering and it got rave reviews! I couldn't find cider, so I used juice instead. I made it in the crock pot and it simmered for several hours making the house smell terrific! I am making it again for our Christmas celebration tonight. Thanks for this recipe, I have doubled it both times with none left over.

This recipe ROCKED! None of the stores had apple cider in stock so I ended up with regular apple juice. I heard it was a little on the sweet side so I doubled the spices, added another quart of apple juice (about half a bottle), but kept the brown sugar (and orange, cut up into 6ths to fit better into the filter basket) the same. My coffee maker only makes 12 "cups" of coffee at a time, so I just filled it up, emptied it into a carafe, then refilled the reservoir with the remaining apple juice. BTW, even with my additional apple juice, this recipe barely satisfied 6 people (there were lots of seconds and thirds...). I had to make another batch to keep them happy. **BE AWARE!** This has the potential to CLOG you coffeemaker if you let it sit overnight without cleaning it! After your last brewing, dump the cider into a carafe or other storage vessel and run hot water or vinegar through your coffee maker IMMEDIATELY! It may take a few runs for the water to run clear, but it's better than replacing your coffee maker or giving this AMAZING recipe less than its deserved 5 stars!

Very yummy, so so good on a frigid night. For some reason I couldn't find apple cider in the store, so I used fresh-pressed apple juice. Other than that had all the same ingredients, put it all in a slow cooker on low for a few hours. Still good when warmed up the next day. I didn't have a problem with it ending up too strong, I left all of the spices and orange pieces in there the whole time and it was just right (although maybe a tad on the sweet side, probably doesn't need that much sugar for my taste). Thank you so much for such a comforting recipe!

I ended up running equal parts of apple juice and pineapple juice through the coffee pot, then keeping the cider warm in the crock pot during an open house at work. It was a big hit. It seemed like the spices were not quite strong enough after running it through the coffee pot, so I kept a tablespoon each of the allspice & cloves plus a stick of cinnamon in the crock pot for a stronger flavor. This recipe is easily tweaked to meet your own tastes.

This recipe was a hit with my entire family. It was gone within a matter of a few minutes. I used coffee filters to hold the spices. Instead of quartering the orange, I added the juice to the cider and peeled the rind off and dropped it in as well. It was much easier than fitting the quarters into the coffee filters. Thanks for a great recipe!

I served this to my friends and got back a coveted rating of "It's better than Stovetop!" Since I only had juice, not cider, I added a bit more spices, and since brown sugar is a rare commodity over here I used white, but it worked wonderfully.

Big hit at the party and lots left over( I made a LOT) so I'm still enjoying it. This was a great and easy recipe. Was way too skeptical to try in the coffee pot, so I made in the crockpot with all spices in the coffee filter tied with a rubber band. Worked great. Will definitely make again, party or no party, its a keeper. p.s. added a touch of rum and re-heated after party was over for a nice hot spiked drink. Quite nice.

I was cold and looking for something different(not the usual coffee,tea,or soup)to drink to warm up. I followed the directions to a T except for the allspice.(all I had was ground so used it but only 1/2 the amount called for.)All I know is it tastes wonderful.....I'm addicted; and so is my son who doesn't like his cider warm. Thanks so much for a fabulous tasting and incredibly easy recipe.

I just made this on Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I have tried a few recipes in the past and my whole family said this was the best one. I put it in the crockpot with everything in a coffee filter tied with a rubberband (like others suggested)and put the orange and cinnamon stick in floating around. It worked great and was delicious. If you have a white crockpot, you will really have to scrub at it to get it clean..maybe spray it with a little bit of cooking spray beforehand? Thanks for the recipe!

I did this in the slow cook and it turned out pretty good I would make it again
