Spiced Cider

I love ciders and this is a nice one. Don't forget to taste while its simmering to ensure the right ratio of sweet and tart for yourself. If you would like it tarter don't add the honey and if you would like this sweeter than add honey to taste. It's all about personal preference...the honey does help to bring out the spices more and offers a smoother drink.
