Instructions
 Pour the apple cider and maple syrup into a large stainless steel saucepan. Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel and lemon peel in the center of a washed square of cheese cloth; fold up the sides of the cheese cloth to enclose the bundle, then tie it up with a length of kitchen string. Drop the spice bundle into the cider mixture. We simply place all the ingredients into the pot.
Place the saucepan over moderate heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cider is very hot but not boiling. |
 Remove the cider from the heat. Discard the spice bundle or strain the mixture. Ladle the cider into big cups or mugs, adding a fresh cinnamon stick to each serving if desired. |
