There's nothing like sipping something warm when those fall and winter months come along, don't you think?
This recipe uses pantry-friendly ingredients (meaning, they're shelf-stable and don't need refrigerating), which means you can always have them on hand.
Plus it makes a delightful gift idea, too. So much so that I've made a free printable you can attach to your Mulled Cider Spice Mix!
You can use this spice mix with apple juice, or with cranberry juice if you prefer! (I've tried both, and they are equally delightful.)
MULLED CIDER SPICE MIX
PREP TIME: 5 minutesCOOK TIME: 2 hours warming
INGREDIENTS
- 1 3/4 c. sugar or Splenda/Stevia (must be measured cup-for-cup like sugar)
- 1/4 c. brown sugar (replace with Splenda/Stevia for a sugar-free mix)
- 2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 2-quart bottle of apple juice (or cranberry juice)
DIRECTIONS
In a medium-size bowl, stir together the dry ingredients until well-combined. Spoon into two 8-oz. (half-pint) jars (or four 4-oz. jars). Pour juice into a slow cooker. Stir in 3-4 tsp. of the spice mix for apple juice, or 5-6 tsp. if using cranberry juice. Heat over low for about 2 hours, then serve.
This would make a great gift, either with a bottle of juice or without.
