Start with a big pot of apple cider, add 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks and about a dozen cloves. Heat slowly. Don’t boil, when it’s steaming hot, ladle this mixture into a mug and add as much rum as you dare!! Be sure not to get any loose cloves in the mug. You can leave the spiced cider simmering on the stove all day…. The aroma which fills your kitchen is divine! So anytime you feel like a little taste of holiday cheer, just grab the ladle and rum.
