Nothing beats this apple cider recipe on a cold winter day. Enjoy a warm mug of fresh apple cider sweetened with pure maple syrup. Start with only six strips each of the orange and lemon peel, and adjust to taste.

Place cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel in the center of a square of washed cheesecloth; fold up the sides of the cheesecloth to enclose the bundle, then tie it up with a length of kitchen string. Drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture.
