This hot Apple cider is sooo good.

You will need:

1 Gallon of apple cider
3 tea bags ( celestial seasonings orange spice)
1/2 bag of red hots
1/2 bag of cinnamon disks
a crock pot

Start out on a high heat. Add your cider. Once it is hot add the remaining ingredients stirring frequently. After the candy has started to dissolve, turn heat to low. I let it sit for about 15-20 after I turn dowm the heat and stir occasionally, then serve.The good thing about this recipe is that nothing has to be exact. Sometimes I add more candy. This makes a nice fall/winter treat.

This sounds awesome! A nice alternative to my usual cider with rum, orange liquer, and cinnamon schnapps!:)
Thanks!

Definately yummy!

Your recipe sounds good too Margarita.

i love apple cider. thanks for sharing amanda!

I forgot to say that Constant Comment Tea can be used as well. I use the other because I cant find Constant Comment half the time. Probably any orange spice tea will work.

what are cinnamon disks?

Cinnamon hard candy disks. I know Brach's makes them, I am sure there are other brands...

I am so making this.

You forgot one ingredient:

Another really great cider seasoning comes from the Biltmore House down in Asheville, NC--I have a package I have been using the past few years.

You don't have to travel down to Asheville to get some of course thanks to the internet--- http://shop.biltmore.com/browse.cfm/4,44.htm

The Biltmore Estate certainly is a great place to visit--especially this time of the year and on through the holiday season to see how they decorate the Estate and the lodge as well.

They have a great gift shop and it is fun to spend time at the winery to taste their great wines.
