I doubled up on the spices & it wasn’t too bad. I was making this to be used in a wassail recipe, but if I were making it for a stand-alone cider recipe, I’d do the same of doubling the spices, but I’d also add more apples & whole cloves to increase the flavors all around to reduce that watered-down flavor that it seems to have, as I was still picking up on that a little bit when I tasted it even with all of the additional spices. I really wanted to like this & give it more than 3 stars, but I can’t get past that watered-down flavor, nor the fact that I had to alter the recipe by doubling the spices in order to try to prevent that flavor.

I an SO glad that I read your comment before making this, & grateful that you posted it. Due to your input, I doubled up on the spices & it wasn’t too bad. I was making this to be used in a wassail recipe, but if I were making it for a stand-alone cider recipe, I’d do the same of doubling the spices, but I’d also add more apples & whole cloves to increase the flavors all around to reduce that watered-down flavor that you had mentioned, as I was still picking up on that a little bit when I tasted it.

Incredibly watered down flavor. Tasted exactly like a keurig apple cider pod…which is not a compliment. I followed the recipe perfectly too, always a disappointment when it does turn out.

I now make this for the winter holidays as a “treat.” Delicious!

No, I would not add orange zest. Just skip the orange and in the end if you think it needs a punch of flavor add juice from a fresh squeezed orange or add a couple Tablespoons orange juice.

I’d hate to waste a whole batch over a split orange
