I didn't make this sweet enough so next time I will add more brown sugar. I did add some floating orange slices with cloves poked through them. I think I drank the most of everyone.

I made this at Thanksgiving. It was ok, but not a huge hit. The acidity from the lemon seemed to overpower the spices and gave it kind of a bad wine flavor. I won't make again.

Very tasty. Worked well for handing a steaming mug to our arriving guests at Thanksgiving. I didn't use the lemon and thought it was just fine without it.

This is a wonderful, soul warming recipe. Everyone at my Thanksgiving dinner loved it. My cider ended up with a "skin" on the top in addition to my floating spices, so next time I will probably pour it through a sieve instead of using a slotted spoon.

I made this for an open house and got many compliments. It is very good...something different than the usual plain apple cider. It makes the house smell good too! I forgot to mention that I did strain my finished drink thru a cheesecloth to remove all the excess "debris". I prefered to serve a clearer looking drink rather than have the clumped cinnamon floating around in it.

I really love this recipe. Followed it as written except I put the whole cloves in a coffee filter and stapled it shut. I can't think of a special fall or winter occasion that I would host without serving this. Will definitely make again.

A great change of pace hot drink. I usually make Hot Russian Tea but wanted something different. I still like Russian Tea better but this a nice alternative. I think I will try orange slices instead of lemon next time.

Recently made this for a company open house where I work. I made it partly in a percolator coffeemaker and heated the cider in a pot on the stove to hurry things along, then added the hot cider to the percolator. Everyone loved it!

So delicious. Warms the soul. The combination of flavors is wonderful. It was the perfect Christmas cider. Will make this every year from now on.

I served this at my cookie exchange this year and boy, was it a hit. I put it in the crock pot early in the morning and by the time of the party at 2pm it was really wonderful. I had to make more shortly into the party. Of course, we served it with a side of Apple Jack. (Kept the bottle right next to the crock pot so people could help themselves.) We had planned to make everybody laugh by giving a prize at the end of the party to the person who drank the most cider, but we weren't able to keep track, everybody like it so much. So far this season, I've had six people call and ask for the recipe. That's a record. Forgot to add, instead of the whole cloves, I added three pinches of ground cloves. (I didn't want to have to dig them out later!)

I made this for my inlaws this weekend. It was a total HIT! I didn't have any cheesecloth, so I ripped a hole in a tea bag and replaced the tea with the cloves. No floaties to worry about! Because I didn't want to make a wasted pot, I put in both lemons and oranges, just in case. It was great, so I'll stick with that. Put it in the crock pot early afternoon, it was wonderfully hot all evening! My mother-in-law tried it only to not hurt my feelings and ended up drinking six or seven cupfulls! Even MY m-i-l can't fake it that much! My seven year old loved it too! Tart, but full of a variety of flavors and fun to drink. Thanks!

Drinking this as I type! I put it in the crock pot on high while the spices were in and left it for about 30-45 minutes, 1 hour max, while I ran some errands. When I came back I took the cloves, lemon, & cinnamon out and turned it down to low. It's amazing!!

Very good. I used someone's suggestion and took the lemons out after it cooked and replaced it with sliced oranges.

Made this tonight for a Halloween party. Total hit. So much better than the apple cider I made. This one is a keeper. I too took out the lemons after boiling before simmering. Will make this on regular days when it's cold outside!

Delicious recipe.. but I omit the sugar. I use cranberry juice mixed with other fruit juice for sweetness as to avoid high fructose corn syrup.

Last Thanksgiving I made this cider in a crockpot -- I made in advance the orange slices studded w/the whole cloves. Stored them in a plastic resealable bag until the cider was warmed up, then added on top to float. With the cinnamon sticks, I wrap them up in cheesecloth. This way it's easier to remove, & not as many granules in your cider. My two oldest grandsons kept going back for more & more; between the 2 of them they finished up the whole pot!
