Spice this up to your taste.

Adding a quarter lemon adds a bit more zest to the base flavor of this recipe, but personally I prefer slow cooking this recipe for at least an hour in my favorite Le Creuset on low/medium heat without any additions to the ingredients below. After trying a few variations, I feel like this is the best mulled apple cider because the fresh ginger adds a little something special the longer its warmed with the other spices.

I've also enjoyed leaving this recipe in my slow cooker for 4+ hours while hosting parties - this is a fun way to set up a hot apple cider bar, complete with whipped cream, cinnamon dusting, caramel, cups and straws without having to keep an eye on the stove. I usually start this on high setting and then switch to warm setting when guests arrive.

If you're pressed for time the instant pot is a great option to get this up to a boil fast and pressure cook for about 15 minutes, then switch to the "keep warm" setting.

However you choose to prep this recipe, You and your favs will enjoy this season after season when you're craving something warm to drink.
