Recipe for Hot Apple Cider

1) Pour 1 gallon of fresh cider into a large pot on the stove or a crockpot/slow cooker.
2) Add a half cup brown sugar.
3) Place 1 tsp of whole cloves, 1 tsp of whole allspice, and 3 cinnamon sticks on a square cheesecloth and tie up. Add to the pot.
4) Heat cider to a boil, stirring regularly. Leave the pot uncovered so that you can enjoy the warm, delicious aroma (the recipe actually says this).
5) Once cider boils, lower the setting to simmer for at least another 15 minutes to allow for thorough infusion of the spices. Stir occasionally.
6) Remove spices from the pot and ladle hot mulled cider into mugs or other glasses designed for hot beverages.

Add some rum for a lil' buzz...
