Spiced Cider Tea

1 (3 inch) piece cinnamon stick

3 whole cloves

½ teaspoon black peppercorns

2 black tea bags

2 cups apple cider

4 packets Sweet N Low® granulated sugar substitute

2 long cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Place the cinnamon stick, cloves, and peppercorns in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Off the heat, add the tea bags and steep, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags.

Add the cider and Sweet N Low to the spiced tea and warm over medium heat until Spiced Cider Tea is steaming hot. Divide between two mugs and serve, garnished with a long cinnamon stick, if desired.
