When wild gusts of wind rattles the screens and heavy, gray, storm-clouds fill the sky with thunder rumbling in the distance that’s the perfect time to make a batch of Warm & Cozy Hot Spiced Cider. There’s nothing cozier than to be safe at home, with a crock pot of hot cider simmering, on a cold, blustery, day! What a privilege to be a homemaker! To make warm and cheerful the place that we call home! To bless our loved ones with an atmosphere of comfort and tender loving care.
This is also such a wonderful hot beverage to make when you have guests coming over! It’s so easy because you make it in your crock pot/ slow cooker. Once you prepare it, guests can just help themselves! I just leave a ladle resting on a dish with mugs nearby so family and friends can make themselves at home!
Gather some whole cloves and cinnamon sticks and put them in a tea or spice infuser (I love the one I have because it’s elongated. You can find it here on the affiliate link!
Pour a gallon of cider to a slow cooker, add some brown sugar and the spices…
Add let it simmer and fill your home and tummy with the most delicious aroma and flavor!!

Pour apple cider in a crock pot. Add sugar, stir. Put whole cloves and cinnamon in a spice/tea-infuser or a cheesecloth bundle and place in pot. Add orange slices.
