Mulled Cider

Here is a warm beverage that everyone at your holiday gatherings can enjoy.  Taking some fresh apple juice and adding mulling spices is such an easy way to add a ton of flavor while leaving you free to work on getting your turkey or mashed potatoes just right.  This is a great drink to just keep in the crock pot throughout the day that will keep everyone coming back for more.  Also, for the adults, this drink is great with a shot of Boatwright Bourbon or 50 Fathoms Gin.

64 oz Fresh pressed apple juice

1 Tablespoon Whole Allspice

1 Tablespoon Whole Cloves

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

3 Cardamom Pods

Peel of 1 Orange

Optional – 1.5 oz Boatwright Bourbon or 50 Fathoms Gin

Add all ingredients into a pot and bring to a simmer.  Let ingredients steep for 20 mins and then strain.  Transfer to a crock pot and set to low.  Garnish the beverage with an apple slice and star anise.
