As the weather gets colder it’s time to make those warm & yummy drinks that keep you all toasty inside like this Mulled Cider, Crockpot. It reminds me of skiing or skating on a cold winters day!
Every Fall/Winter I try to make this when company comes over. The aroma of the cider simmering away fills the house and makes it smell lovely all day long. Another reason I love my crockpot(s)! Add some spiced Rum and you have an Adult only beverage.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 quarts apple cider
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 1 orange unpeeled, sliced
- 2-4 cinnamon sticks
- 1-2 tsp whole cloves
Instructions
- Combine cider, sugar, ginger and orange in a slow cooker. If you want you can tie the cinnamon and cloves together in a small cheesecloth bag and add to the slow cooker....(I don't bother and just throw everything into the pot to cook together!) Cover and heat on LOW minimum 4 hours to blend flavours. If you've used the cheesecloth bag remove it before serving. Serve from slow cooker.
Notes
As I am not always able to find apple cider readily available in the grocery stores....I more often than not will substitute a large bottle or a couple smaller bottles of non alcoholic sparkling apple juice with regular apple juice (tetra pack box). It turns out tasty and just as good.
