Ingredients

  • 3 cups apple cider ($1.32)
  • 2 slices of orange ($0.25)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks ($0.49)
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced ($0.09)
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup ($0.31)
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ($0.17)

Instructions 

  • Gather the apple cider, slices of orange, cinnamon sticks, peeled and sliced fresh ginger, maple syrup, and ground nutmeg.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes. You want it to simmer for long enough where the orange begins to change color, but not so long that the cider begins to evaporate.
  • Strain the cider through a fine strainer or cheesecloth.
  • Serve hot with orange slices and cinnamon sticks added back to each mug.
