1 gallon apple cider 1 whole apple sliced (no seeds) 1 whole Orange sliced 3 small cinnamon sticks 3 slices fresh ginger 1 cup dried rose petals 1TBS nutmeg or other spice Pour cider into a large pot big enough to hold the gallon of apple cider with enough room for the other ingredients. Turn on high and add the slices of apples, oranges, the cinnamon sticks, the ginger and roses. Turn heat down once the cider is hot to allow it to simmer. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then add the spices of your liking. Stir every 15 to 20 minutes to keep the roses from settling at the bottom. Leave to simmer for 2 hours. Personal Notes: I made some of this and I just fell in love with it. I had to share it with those who like this kind of thing. It's fantastic for Samhain, or those who don't celebrate Samhain, it's great for Halloween. I think with a few changes it would even be perfect for a Christmas (or Solstice) morning before opening presents.
