Rum-Spiced Cider
From Michael McLaughlin
1994

Ingredients

2 qts. apple cider, preferably fresh and unfiltered

1/3 c. packed light brown sugar

2 pieces (2 inches each) cinnamon stick

12 whole cloves

12 allspice berries

2 c. dark rum

1/2 stick (4 tbsps.) unsalted butter, sliced into 8 pats (optional)

8 long cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Directions

In a nonreactive pan combine the cider, brown sugar, short cinnamon sticks, cloves, and all-spice. Set over medium-low heat, partially cover, and slowly bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally and skimming any scum that forms on the surface.

Meanwhile, divide the rum among 8 large mugs. Drop a pat of butter and a cinnamon stick into each mug if desired. Strain the cider into the mugs and serve immediately.

Serve 8.
