This spiced cider brings a wonderful internal glow to the holidays. It is not highly alcoholic, but enjoy responsibly nonetheless.

Cook's Note:

This is perfect made in a slow cooker! You can keep adding apple cider, cranberry juice, and brown sugar to the pot as you take out for serving. It is good to squeeze the orange skin above the drink before rubbing it on the edge of the mug. This releases oils that will benefit the final product!
