Mulled Hot Cider



Of course, you might have a little wine with dinner -- but grab a gallon of apple juice, cinnamon sticks and a few oranges. You can put a few raw cranberries in also -- cook it is your crock pot to make the whole house smell like a holiday. Do it early in the day and enjoy it all day long.

 INGREDIENTS
• 1-3 (2") cinnamon stick
• 5-10 whole cloves
• 1 Orange, thinly sliced

METHOD
If you are making a small batch-use fewer spices, for a gallon use the max. Combine ingredients in a non-aluminum saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve in mugs
