This recipe uses an automatic coffee maker to brew the cider. If you don't own one, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop.  (Clean your coffee maker according to the manufacturer's instructions before using for coffee again.)
 

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp whole allspice
1 tsp whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick (more if you want to use as a garnish)
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 large orange, quartered with peel
8 cups apple cider
 

Clean out coffee maker well. Place filter in coffee basket, and fill with brown sugar, allspice, cloves, cinnamon stick, salt, nutmeg and orange wedges. Pour apple cider into coffee pot where the water usually goes.

Brew, and serve hot, with or without cinnamon sticks in each cup.
