INGREDIENTS:
4 quarts fresh apple cider (the cloudier, the better) 16 ounces white rum 20 ounces cinnamon schnapps
3/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg cinnamon sticks to taste apple slices for garnish (optional)



1 Pour cider into a large nontreactive saucepan, turn heat to medium and let cider warm about 5 minutes.
2 Add remaining ingredients except garnish. Bring heat to just below boiling and let simmer 15 minutes. You want it piping warm, but not so hot that it burns a guest's mouth.
3 Ladle into large heatproof mugs, adding a cinnamon stick or two to each mug, and a apple slice, if desired.
