This Christmas was my first time ever making mulled cider and it will definitely be a tradition now! Below are the ingredients I used and a very short/easy recipe! Feel free to add anything else you'd like and experiment with it!
Ingredients:
- Apple cider (half gallon/1 gallon depending on crock pot size)
- 1/2-1 bag of cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- Cinnamon sticks (1-2 or as many as you'd like)
- 1 apple
- 1/2 an orange
- 2-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- Nutmeg spice

Directions:
Set your crock pot or pot on the stove on low and pour in the cider.
Wash the fruit, cut up and toss in.
Toss in the remaining rosemary, spice and cinnamon sticks.
Cook on low for 2-4 hours, stirring a time or two.
Strain and enjoy! It is delicious hot or cold!
Let me know if you give it a try!

The first time I made it I ended up with about a half gallon.
Stay healthy and festive!
