Notes
A Note on Sweetness
This recipe is pretty sweet (to my taste) so it makes a really nice sipping drink. If you want yours less sweet, then I'd recommend halving the cider to 4 ounces, and replacing the remaining 4 ounces with water. That way you get most of the flavor, but not all of the sugar.
Additions and Substitutions
You could use apple juice in this recipe instead of apple cider. Feel free to use a bottled or pre-made cider if you can't find fresh.
You could also use ground cinnamon instead of fresh cinnamon sticks.
