Its the first day of Autumn and I wanted cozy. Cozy is definitely a mug of hot, spiced cider.

Ingredients:

1/4 a gallon of fresh cider (I like Honeycrisp cider)

1 cinnamon stick

1/4 tsp Anise seeds

2 slices of fresh Ginger root

6 whole Cloves

The peel of 1 Lemon

Put all ingredients into a pot and simmer over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and serve between 2 large mugs.
