Bourbon Mulled Cider

Ingredients

• 16 fl ounces unfiltered apple cider
• 4 fluid ounces bourbon
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 naval orange
• 1/2 lemon
• 10 allspice berries
• 1 star anise
• 4 cardamom pods
• 1 bay leaf

Instructions

1. 1
   To a medium saucepan, add all of the ingredients. Stir and place it over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
2. 2
   Bring the heat down to low and cook until fragrant and delicious, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and cover the pot. I like to keep it like this for guests. Every now and then you may need to turn the heat back on to warm it. And of course, this is a good recipe to double.
