Mulled Apple Cider
Serves 10-12
Ingredients
For Mulled Cider
- 1 gallon apple cider
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp mulling spices
- 2 apples, thinly sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks + more to garnish
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
To Spike Cider (optional)
- 1½ cups spiced rum
How-to
- Place mulling spices in a spice ball or in a piece of cheesecloth tied with butcher's twine
- In a large pot over high heat, bring the cider, 2 cinnamon sticks, orange and apple slices, brown sugar and mulling spices to a boil. This may take awhile -- 10-15 minutes
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook about 20 minutes
- Keep at a low simmer to keep warm on stovetop and provide mugs and a ladle -- allow guests to help themselves. To spike, add the spiced rum after the 20 minute simmer time
