Here are a couple hot beverages made with cider or apple juice, which is the same thing as cider.
Brandy Cider Tea
2 cups freshly brewed strong black tea (I used reg. Lipton's orange pekoe)
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups cider or apple juice, heated
1 1/4 cups orange juice
1/2 cup brandy
1 lemon, sliced
Combine in a saucepan and heat just until hot enough to serve, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Hot Cranberry Cider
1 quart apple cider or apple juice
1 (32 oz) jar cranberry juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
8 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
Combine in a saucepan and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Last winter I bought some Mike's Hard Lemonade in Spiced Cider flavor. It was so very good heated up and served with a cinnamon stick, better than it was when chilled.
