1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Pour the apple cid-er and maple syrup into a large stainless steel pot.
3. Place the cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel in the center of a square of cheesecloth. Fold up the edges to make a bundle, and secure it with kitchen string.
4. Drop the spice bundle into the cid-er mixture.
5. Heat the saucepan over medium heat, allowing the cid-er to warm for about 5-10 minutes, until it’s very hot but not boiling.
6. Remove the cid-er from the heat and discard the spice bundle.
7. Serve the cidr in large mugs, and add a fresh cinnamon stick to each cup if desired.

Enjoy your comforting drink!
