Cozy Cider

• 1 1/2 quarts unfiltered sweet cider
• 12 allspice berries
• 12 whole cloves
• 2 sticks cinnamon, broken into pieces
• 6 tablespoons bourbon (optional)

1. Place all ingredients but the bourbon in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture is just below a boil.
2. Cover, remove from the heat and let steep 5 minutes.
3. At that point, you will notice that the allspice and cloves have floated to the top; remove and discard them.
4. Pour a tablespoon of bourbon, if desired, into each of six mugs and pour the cider mixture over it.
5. Spoon a few cinnamon pieces into each mug, and serve immediately.
