Mulled Cider
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Muled Cider Mix
- 1 gallon Apple Cider
- Cinnamon Sticks (Optional)
Directions:
Cook in either a crock pot or on stove top.
Put Mulled Cider Mix in a muslin bag or wrap securely in cheesecloth. Place the bag into the Apple Cider.
Bring the spices and cider to a simmer for at least one hour. The intensity will increase the longer you leave in the spices.
Ladle the mulled cider into a heatproof mug or glass and adorn with a cinnamon stick if desired.
Optional: If you do not have a muslin bag or cheesecloth, you may add the Mulled Cider Mix directly to the Apple cider. You will then need to strain out the spices when the cider is finished simmering.
