(delicious) mulled cider

I made this cider the other day. If you want to make it yourself, here's a rough recipe for what I did:
2 quarts Apple Cider
3-4 Cinnamon sticks
1 Whole Orange, sliced thinly
A pinch of whole cloves
A pinch of whole all spice

I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, then strained it a few times to get rid of the residue from the cloves, cinnamon, and all spice. Keep the extra refrigerated, and heat up whenever you want a warm drink!
