Do any of you have a great recipe for hot spiced apple cider or mulled cider? I'm having the crew over Christmas eve and would love to serve this yummy beverage but I've never made it.
Thanks in advance to all who contribute!!!

awww. I would cheat! Get thee to the Louisburg Cider mill, buy some cider and their mulling spices!

Oh, Troylynn, this one is really easy, and REALLY good! Take a nice large crockpot (mine's an oval six quart, and I loff it!), and glurk a couple bottles of apple cider in. Take a handful of cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and whole allspice berries & place them in a small square of cheesecloth & tie it into a nice little bundle with string (plain white cooks string...colored string will bleed into your cider  ). Toss the little bundle in the cider, set it to low, and leave it all day. If you want to be really pretty, stud a couple oranges with cloves in pretty designs & patterns, and float them in the cider. The oranges add a nice flavor as well, too. Sounds like a great Christmas Eve you'll be having! Oh, and btw, start the cider an hour or two before people arrive...that'll give it time to heat up, and also time to fragrance the whole house. ;D |

Okay Chickie, you talked me into it! I'll be making some spiced cider in the crockpot; it sounds delicious! Oh yeah, I've had your version before. Yep, it was delicious!  |
