Ah how wonderful the feeling when you sit with friends around a campfire and drink mulled apple cider to keep the chill away, or make a wonderful Glogg from your favorite wine to serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I serve this from a crock pot Lined with a crock pot liner (4 for 1.99 at most grocery stores) so clean up is a breeze.
You will need:
To make the mixture-
A large bowl (I use a 5 qt ice cream tub so you can store what you don't need)
1 bag of Dark Brown Sugar
1 small container of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg) (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice)
a spoon
a food handlers glove (optional)
sandwich baggies
tape
ribbon
scissors
To serve:
crock pot
crock pot liner
1 bag of mulling spice
1 gallon of apple cider or a sweet wine
1 heat resistant ladle
Optional Garnishes :
a couple of Cinnamon sticks
slices of orange floating in the brew...
slices of apples in the pot....
To make the spice mixture:
Put the brown sugar in the bowl add the spice and mix well. Put 2 big spoon fulls in each baggie, push it to one corner of the bag. Twist the baggie and tape the twist to keep it airtight. Cut straight across the top and add ribbon. This makes a nice take home gift for your guests at a dinner party, wedding, etc. I give them out at yule for all who come to the house. A batch makes about 12 baggies and cost me 3.00 to make (not counting tape, ribbon, and baggies which I always have anyway)
To serve:
Take a crock pot and put a crock pot liner in it. Add the gallon of apple cider or a couple of bottles of sweet wine. Put on high until hot then add the contents of the bag of mulling spice and using a heat resistant ladle stir until the sugar is dissolved (the spices do not dissolve..stir before each serving so you do not end up with a glop of seasonings). turn it down to low or warm (crock pots differ, on some, the warm setting is higher than low)

If you look for it you can find the spice for 99 cents. (not counting tape, ribbon, and baggies which I always have anyway)
For a wedding or party favor, reduce the amount in the baggie to 2 tablespoons.
Wrap the baggie in wedding tulle and add a tag with the date and names of the couple.
