My Two Cents:·

This recipe makes six servings.
Get creative with your garnishes, including additional cinnamon sticks or apple rounds.
Autumn at the Hart house, especially Halloween, has become synonymous with Warm Spiced Cider. Every year our scarecrows go up in the front yard, our clear beverage bins are filled with candy near the front door and a batch of cider is simmering on the stove. Long after the scarecrows are replaced with Thanksgiving pumpkins and Christmas evergreen, the cider remains. Enjoy the aromas and flavors of fall all year long.
