Mulled Cider
Brew this recipe up in a coffee maker for a pot of delicious mulled cider in minutes. If you don’t have a coffee maker, just warm the ingredients in a slow cooker or large pan. In that case, you may want to decrease or omit the brown sugar.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ tsp. whole allspice
- 1 tsp. whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 large orange, cut into quarters, with peel
- 1-2 quarts apple cider
Directions:
- Get out your coffee maker. Put a filter in the basket.
- Fill the filter with all ingredients except the apple cider.
- Pour the apple cider into the reservoir where the water usually goes.
- Set to brew. In minutes, you’ll have a pot of hot, delicious mulled cider.
- Optional: Garnish with orange slices, star anise, and a cinnamon stick.
- You’ll still have cider left over after you brew your first pot. Just keep brewing until you want to stop or you run out of cider. Check the filter between brewing to see if any ingredients need replenishing.
Makes 2 quarts of cider. For a large party, pour the cider into a slow cooker and garnish. To store, pour into a pitcher and refrigerate.
