Peel from 1/2 an orange, cut into pieces
6 inches stick cinnamon, broken
1 - 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tsp whole allspice
8 cups apple cider or apple juice*
1 cup apple brandy (optional)
1/4 cup honey or packed brown sugar

Place orange peel, cinnamon, ginger and allspice into a spice bag and tie closed with kitchen string.

In a 3-5 quart slow cooker, combine apple cider/juice, brandy, and honey or brown sugar. Add spice bag to cider mixture.

Cover; cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Remove and discard spice bag. Ladle cider into cups and serve warm.

*Note: Use processed cider from the grocery shelf; unprocessed cider from the refrigerated section will separate and appear curdled when heated.
