Combine the 6c of Martinelli's apple cider, lemon juice, spices in a saucepan
Peel 5 large orange zests, and add to cider saucepan, and bring to a boil
Once boiling immediately reduce to a simmer for at least 1 hour, but up to 4 for maximum spice strength.
Strain spices from the cider, and return to a clean pot
BOOZY TWIST - add in 2-4c of your favorite fortified wine
WHIP
Pour 1 pint of heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl
Whisk Or Use a mixer until the cream starts to thicken and create soft, cloud-like peaks
Add in sugar to taste while mixing
Add in 1 TSP of vanilla extract (I get mine from my Mom's homemade secret recipe)
Once the whip is nice and fluffy, top this incredible cider with the whip, cinnamon, nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, and a star anise - grab your favorite blanket, light a candle (more for ambiance than anything since your house now smells like this amazing cider), and enjoy the changing of the seasons.
ENJOY!
