Directions
In a two-quart crock pot add the dark brown sugar and pour apple cider. Add cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and nutmeg into the crockpot.
Place cloves and allspice berries into the center of a small washed piece of cheesecloth; fold up sides and tie with butcher twine or small length of string to create a spice ball. Drop the spice ball into the crockpot.
Set the crockpot to high and allow it to warm for two-three hours. After that you can set it to warm or low.
Use a ladle to add into a cup or mug, add a fresh cinnamon stick or extra dash of cinnamon to each serving if desired.
