Do you like apple cider? How about hot spiced apple cider? For years, part of our Christmas tradition included making spiced apple cider with the children. This year is no different, except the children are no longer at home. That doesn’t mean we should stop doing customary holiday things.
To enjoy made from scratch mulled apple cider, I bet you already have most of the ingredients on hand. This is what you will need:
- ½ gal. Apple juice
- 1 c. orange juice
- ½ c. brown sugar (or sweeten to suit taste)
- ⅛ tsp. allspice
- ¼ tsp. clove
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Next, all you then need to do follow this follow these simple instructions.
Pour apple and orange juice into kettle. Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, and spices to liquids; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
Doesn’t that sound cozy? What inspires you today?
Have an Sunspirational Sunday!

My family makes apple cider every year; it’s delicious! Thanks for visiting Thistle Cove Farm; I’m in the Cove, in the Clinch Mountain Range. East River Mountain is in the Bluefields.
mmmmmm, that sounds so good. My aunt used to do mulled apple cider and wine over her big fireplace in cast iron pots at Christmastime. The house smelled delicious, and everyone definitely felt warm…..and bright (for those drinking the wine – ha!)
You have given me something to mull over.
