SNOWDAY CIDER
If mulled wine isn't for you try this mulled cider instead
Mulled wine can be tricky. You have to use the right kind of red wine with the right amount of sweetness and a careful selection of spices. Even then I've found that it isn't usually a crowd pleaser. Swapping the red wine for apple cider is great because who doesn't like a hot apple cider during the winter? This recipe is perfect if you like apple cider, want to try something new, and want your house to smell amazing.
