Citrusy Cider

The delicious drink is suffused with lemon, which is a great pick-me-up on when you feel a cold coming on.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

32-ounce carton apple cider

32-ounce carton lemonade

2 oranges, cut into thin slices

4 lemons, cut into thin slices

1 cinnamon stick

1. Pour cider and lemonade into slow cooker. Add orange and slices from 3 lemons, and stir. Add cinnamon stick. Cook on Low for 3 to 4 hours.

2. When ready to serve, remove cinnamon stick. Put one or two super-thin lemon slices into tea cups, and ladle the hot cider over the lemon slices.

Add an ounce of bourbon to almost replicate a hot toddy, which was often prescribed to relieve head colds.
