Preparation

Step 1

Combine the apple cider, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, mace, salt, and cayenne in a large saucepan and bring just to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 1 hour to macerate.

Strain the mixture into a clean saucepan (discard the solids) and return to a simmer. Serve warm in tall coffee mugs.
