Slow Cooker Healthy Citrus Cider Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 cups (2 L) apple cider or apple juice
• 1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
• 8 inches (20.32 cm) stick cinnamon, broken into pieces
• 8 whole cloves
• 3 slices fresh ginger
• orange slices, for garnish

Instructions

In a 4-quart (4 L) slow cooker, combine apple cider, orange juice, lemon juice, and honey.

Stir until the honey dissolved completely. To make a spice bag, cut a 6-8-inch (15-20 cm) square from a double thickness cotton cheesecloth. Place cinnamon, whole cloves, and sliced ginger, then fold up the corners. Tie with a kitchen string and add the bag to the slow cooker.

Cover the pot and cook on low-heat setting for 5-6 hours.

Turn off the cooker and open the lid. Discard the spice bag. Ladle citrus cider into mugs. Garnish with sliced oranges and fresh cranberries. Serve hot.
