1 gal. dark apple cider
4 cinnamon sticks
4 cloves
1 orange, sliced

In a crock pot or a large pan with cover, combine apple cider, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Add half of the orange slices, let steep for a minimum of 1 hour - the longer the better! Serve in brandy glasses using the remaining orange slices as garnish.

Now if you really want to warm the inner or quickly get into a Holiday Spirit, add 1 jigger of brandy per glass.
