tasty tuesday: hot apple cider

Now, I realize that this isn't much of a recipe....but I think it's such a perfect drink for winter, and super easy to make for parties!

All you need is: apple juice and mulling spices!

Jordyn and I are so incredibly lucky, as we always have a (nearly) endless supply to delicious, homemade apple juice that our dad makes for our country store!  And we sell all sorts of mulling spices in our store as well, so we have quite the selection!

First, you'll need to place some of your mulling spices in a tea ball...

Then, pour your apple juice into a large saucepan, place your tea ball inside, and let it simmer gently for as long as you like!  Seriously, it can simmer away all afternoon....and will make your house smell like heaven!

We also added a few cinnamon sticks to ours for extra goodness!

I can hardly believe that November is nearly over, and finals are closing in quickly!  However, I'm extremely excited for December to arrive, and can't wait to be with friends and family to celebrate this Christmas season! 

There will be lots of Christmas themed baking, crafts, and more here on the blog for the next few weeks!  Hope you enjoy!
