Mulled Apple Cider
If you haven’t had mulled apple cider at a family get together, this recipe is about to become your new favorite drink to make ahead of time. We like to have a bottle of spiced rum or cinnamon schnapps nearby for the adults to add to their glass. Bonus: it makes your home smell amazing just in time for guests to arrive!
