Cozy Mulled Cider

• 2 quarts apple cider
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 8 whole cloves (extra for the apples)
• 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• Several small red apples, studded with cloves
• Cinnamon sticks to use for stirrers

Simmer the apple cider, 2 cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and granulated sugar for 30 minutes.

Discard the cinnamon sticks and cloves.  Pour into a heatproof serving bowl.  Add several small apples studded with cloves (they will float), it doesn’t have to be a lot of cloves, just here and then around the apple.

Serve hot cider in mugs.  Use extra cinnamon sticks for stirrers.  Serves 8.

Drink & enjoy!!
