Place the apple cider in a pot. Stir in the chai spice, honey, and orange and apple slices.

Heat it over low heat for 2 hours. You don’t want it to boil, but just lightly steam.

After 1 hour, taste the chai apple cider to see if you like the flavors. Adjust them to your liking. You may wish to add more spice or honey. The flavors will continue to develop as it heats, and if they are too strong for your liking you can add water.

Making Apple Cider in the Crockpot

You can also warm the apple cider in a crockpot. It’s actually simpler, because you don’t have to keep track of the temperature to make sure it’s not overheating.

To make the Chai Apple Cider in the crockpot, prepare it the same way you would in a pot, but in the insert to your crockpot. Warm it on low heat for 4-6 hours, then adjust the flavors to your liking and serve.
