HOW TO MAKE MULLED CIDER IN THE SLOW COOKER
Steps:
- Fill the slow cooker. Pour the cider or juice into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
- Add the fresh ingredients. Cut the orange into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cut the ginger into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Add both to the slow cooker.
- Add the spices. Add the cinnamon sticks. Add the cloves and optional spices. To make it easier to serve, place the cloves and spices in a tea ball first, or place in a double layer of cheesecloth or paper coffee filter, gather it up into a sachet, and tie closed with kitchen twine.
- Slow cook the cider for 4 hours. Cover the slow cooker and cook until the flavors meld, 4 hours on LOW. (If there are clumps of spices floating at the top that you wish to remove, strain the cider through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large pot.) Keep warm and serve in mugs garnished with additional orange slices if desired.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits, spices, and herbs will give your mulled cider the best flavor.
- Choose a good quality cider: Look for a cider that is made with 100% apple juice and has no added sugar.
- Simmer, don't boil: Boiling the cider will make it taste harsh. Instead, simmer it gently over low heat for 1-2 hours.
- Add spices and fruits gradually: Start with a small amount of spices and fruits, and then add more to taste. This will help you avoid overpowering the cider.
- Serve warm: Mulled cider is best served warm. You can reheat it in a slow cooker or on the stovetop over low heat.
Conclusion:
Mulled cider is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a warm and inviting beverage that will be enjoyed by all.
