This aromatic, spiced cider is a wonderful warming drink on a chilly day and a great mood lifter. It's a lighter version of mulled wine, using American non-alcoholic cider—natural, unfiltered apple juice with no added sugar—instead of wine. The cider is simmered with brown sugar, spices, and a whole orange studded with cloves. Serve warm with a cinnamon stick. For adult mugs, add a splash of aromatic bourbon.
