Easy Apple Cider

(112)

This apple cider recipe is super easy to make. I used to buy the spices already mixed at the grocery store, and they stopped carrying them, so I just made my own. Great for a shower or get-together, and the slow cooker keeps it warm so guests can enjoy it through the night! Serve with a slice of orange, and add spiced rum, if desired.
