This was quite good! We made it in the crock pot so the flavors could mingle. Then whoever wanted rum added it to their cup when served. That way they could put in as little - or as much! - as they wanted and the kids could still drink it too.

Very good. We doubled the batch because we had several people drinking out of it. We then seperated it into two - one without rum and one with. It was tasty with alchol and without. Nice warm drink for a cold winter day!

This recipe has a great taste. When my family were drinking it, everyone complained of the heavy smell of liquor (I think from it being heated up?) Thanks for the recipe!

I made this recipe so many times this past fall! It's always a hit. I added an extra cup of apple cider and used 1 cup of captain morgain spiced rum instead of light. I liked to mix all the ingredients together except the liquor and let that simmer for at least half an hour so the flavors all really blend and then add the alcohol about just before serving so it doesn't loose any of it's "kick".

I made this cider for a work event and it was a HUGE hit! I made a few batches: one how the recipe says to but with no alcohol (turned out great for those who don't drink), one WITH the rum but I added an extra cup of cider because it is rather strong (but that's what makes it good!), and the third I made with Cinnamon tea like someone suggested (it was still good but not as amazing at the orange spiced tea). I also sprinkled ground cinnamon in both. I only got to have one drink because i kept having to make more!! Everyone complemented the chef :)

Delicious recipe! The orange tea was a great add, lessened the sweetness of the cider. I also added a dash of ground cinnamon instead of using cinnamon stick, worked out well. It was gone by the end of the night.

Very good, but needed a little more zip. Substituted Apple Rum and added 1 Tbsp. per cup of Apple Pucker. Also boiled the cinnamon stick with the tea bag. Now it's a keeper!

I thought this was great. I made it for my bunco group and used Capt. Morgan spiced rum. Not a drop left!

I tried this for Thanksgiving 2006. I made it in the slow cooker while everyone was out of the house. I used Tazo brand Sweet Orange Spice Tea. It was so delicious, I had at least 3 cups by the time everyone returned home. Because of the children I left out the rum. But I have no hesitation adding it next time. I bet it's even better with it!

I was a bit disapointed in this recipe. You definetly need to warm it on low for at least an hour or two in order to let the flavors blend together--otherwise it is pretty bland. I added more apple cider because the rum was overpowering (even after I had cut back on it). I used a generic apple cider--it possible that if I had used something a little fancier it might have turned out better. I will probably be looking for a different holiday drink next year.

Not bad.... BUT- Why O why would you want to lose any of the alcohol content? I keep my cider spiced and warm on the stove, then add the alcohol (rum or whiskey or bourbon) after removing from heat and stir with a cinn. stick....

Loved the cider! Great for the All Hallows Eve party we had. The rum was a little strong at first, but after simmering on the stove for a while it was just the right strength. Especially liked the flavor with the butter added.

Only change I made was using three cups of cider instead of two to even out the rum per recommendations. I might use half cup of water and have cup of cider instead next time. But I will be making again.
