What spices are best for making cider?

For a traditional apple cider, allspice, cloves and cinnamon are best. You can certainly spice it up a bit more with one star anise but I am not a big fan.

Ingredients you will need

• cinnamon stick
• cloves
• allspice
• brown sugar or brown sugar simple syrup
• apple cider
• red apple

How to make it

• Put juice, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a crockpot or slow cooker
• Place remaining spice in a cheesecloth or just loose in the cider
• Cover and cook on low 2-4 hours

Pro Tip: Don’t overcook the spices in the cider or it will taste bitter

• Remove spice bag or loose spices before serving
• Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks before serving (optional)

Can you reheat it in your crockpot?

You can absolutely keep reheating this delicious mocktail until it’s gone by turning your crockpot or slow cooker on low, or high if you are in a hurry.
