Cranberry Mulled Apple Cider Recipe

I’m feeling peaceful and nostalgic today as more local holiday craft fairs are announced, and more friends and family reach out to see what our plans are for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Spoiler: we’re staying home this year for a much needed break. But the happy memories of past holidays make the first cool days of November feel warm.

And I am a sucker for anything served in a mug. Hot cocoa, hot cider, PSL, black coffee - hand it over. Give me a mug, a blanket, and a fire in the fireplace, and I’m good for hours. Last year, I went on a whim and decided to try something new in the kitchen (this is a common occurrence), adding a bag of fresh cranberries to a pot of apple cider and mulling spices. An hour later - absolute heaven. It’s so easy, tastes delicious, and makes the whole house smell amazing.

Cranberry Mulled Apple Cider

My favorite thing about this recipe is how simple and easy it is to make. I don’t have a lot of time for reading recipes and buying obscure products from specialty stores; let alone hours of involved production. That’s also why most of the craft projects I recommend take less than 30 minutes. This cranberry mulled apple cider is SO easy and hands off, you can set it and forget it.
