Celebrating Autumn with Hot Mulled Cider

Today is National Hot Mulled Cider Day – one of my favorite beverage holidays. There’s just something cozy about a steaming mug of apple cider out by a bonfire on a windy autumn evening.

Hot Mulled Apple Cider Recipe

1 gallon apple cider

½ cup brown sugar

6 whole cloves

1 tsp whole allspice

Dash of nutmeg

1 cinnamon stick for each mug

Heat the ingredients to boiling and then reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Or, double the recipe and place in a large slow cooker and let it simmer all evening.

You can also add a shot of bourbon or spiced rum to each drink for an extra autumn kick.

Cheers!
