The warm, festive aroma of mulling spices is a fall and holiday staple. Whether you're hosting under Friday night lights for football season, getting ready to go caroling, or simply cuddling up by the fire, a pot of mulled cider or wine slowly warming on the stove sets the perfect mood. Perfect for football tailgates, Christmas open houses, Thanksgiving dinner, hayrides and bonfires, and cozy winter weekends.
How to make it:
Combine the bag contents with 64 oz of apple juice (or a bottle of your favorite red wine) in a crock pot or large pot on the stove. Stir to mix well and heat until your drink reaches the desired temperature.
For extra flavor and garnish, add sliced oranges and a cinnamon stick while heating. You can also try other juices like cran-apple or cran-raspberry.
Tip: The key to great mulling is to not let the brew boil — keep it warm and steady. Strain before serving.
Be cautious, liquid will be hot. Enjoy!
