Hot Mulled Cider
Equipment
- 5-quart slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 gallon apple cider (look for fresh and unfiltered!) q
- 2 medium oranges
- 1 piece of fresh ginger, ~2" long
- 5 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tbsp whole cloves
Instructions
- Fill the slow cooker with the apple cider.
- Cut one orange into slices, ~1/4" thick. Peel the ginger and cut into 1/4" slices. Add the orange slices, ginger, and cinnamon sticks to the cider. If you have cheesecloth and twine, you can wrap up the cloves (or any other spices you choose, like a pre-made mulling spice mix) into a little pouch and tie it off with the twine, to make it easier to fish out later. Either way, add the rest of the spices to the cider.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook the cider on LOW for 4 hours. Before serving, cut slices out of the second orange for serving. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.
- Enjoy!
