Hot Mulled Cider

Hot mulled apple cider is a big hit during the cold winter months. It gets better the longer you let it steep so start it the day before you want to serve it.  I like to make this in a large crock pot and add more apple cider as needed. The spices in this recipe can be replaced with a 1/4th cup of your favorite Mulling Spices.
