Mulled Cider or Wine
1 tbl Mulling Mix
1 qt Apple Cider or sweet red wine or fruit juice
2 tbl Honey optional or sugar
For a twist on tradition, experiment with using different fruit juices, such as a cranberry-grape combination. Straining out the mulling mix can be a hassle, so you can put it in a porous cloth bag (such as muslin) or an extra-large tea ball before dumping it into the cider, wine or juice.
Combine ingredients; gently simmer about 15 min. Strain and serve warm.
