On a cold winter evening, serve your guests Hot Spiced Cider Punch as they arrive. The aroma in the room will be so inviting and the hot punch will be just what is needed for a quick warm-up! What I like about it that it is ready to go when your guests arrive. There’s no last-minute preparation and anything left over is still good to use the next day. I use a large coffee percolator to keep it warm and ready to serve. This is a great non-alcoholic cider punch for any winter get-together.
Hot Spiced Cider Punch
1 gallon cider
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick cinnamon
5 whole cloves
Simmer these ingredients for 30 minutes. You can make this in a saucepan over the stove or in a coffee urn.
When I use a coffee urn, I place the first ingredients in the basket and pour the cider in the coffee urn. I let it perk through the cycle and get hot. Then, I remove the basket and add the O.J., Lemon Juice, tea and mix together.
Add:
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate – do not dilute the concentrate
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon instant tea or 2 tea bags
Let everything get hot and serve.
This is so quick and easy to make. We served this at the last Christmas women’s event at church and they loved it!
Enjoy!
