Hot Mulled Cider

If you’re looking for a cozy drink to make this holiday season this is definitely the one to try! It’s easy and is like a drinkable simmer pot that will have your space smelling festive and bright. It’s base is apple cider so this is a wonderful drink for apple lovers, with fresh cranberries and orange slices for some extra flavor.

This drink serves 6 to 8 people, you can strain and refrigerate after simmering and infusing all the delicious flavors. When ready to serve, simply heat up and top with some fresh cranberries and an orange slice. It tastes great cold too, if thats more your style!

Fresh ingredients brighten this mulled cider and give it an amazing flavor and smell! Enjoy a cup while crafting some Christmas ornaments or making a dried orange garland.

This is a super simple recipe, all you do is place all the ingredients into a pot and simmer until you’re happy with the taste! I usually simmer for about an hour and a half, stirring every once in a while making sure the mulled cider doesn’t boil over or stick.
