Hot Spiked Mulled Apple Cider Slow Cooker Recipe
Raw
hot-spiked-mulled-apple-cider.md

Ingredients

  • 1 gallon unfiltered apple juice or apple cider
  • 1 large orange, cut into slices
  • Small ginger root, peeled, cut into ~1" cubes
  • 3-4 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 star anise
  • 1 tablespoon whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon whole allspice
  • (Optional) 21 oz (621 ml) bourbon or rum. Assuming 16 oz of juice is removed per directions below, this will yield about "1 shot" (1.5 oz) of alcohol per 8 oz of drink.

Equipment

  • 6 qt. slow cooker
  • Cheese cloth or other spice infusion container
  • (Optional) Thermometer

Directions

  1. Pour juice into the slow cooker, and set to LOW for 4-6 hours
    • (Optional) If spiked, leave out 16 oz of the juice to make room for the alcohol later
  2. Prepare oranges, ginger root, and cinnamon sticks, and put them in the juice
  3. Wrap the star anise, cloves, and allspice into a cheesecloth burrito (or other infusion container), and place in the juice
  4. (Optional) ~1 hour before serving, add the alcohol to warm it up without evaporating the alcohol. (Time is an estimate! Don't let the temperature rise above 173℉, the boiling point of ethanol.)
