How to Make Mulled Apple Cider

1 cup Maple Syrup or 1 cup dark brown sugar.
2 quarts (1/2 gallon) Unfiltered Apple Cider (not juice)
Juice from ½ Lemon
1 cup Dark Rum (optional)
Directions:
Pour apple cider into a large saucepan, add maple syrup or brown sugar and stir until dissolved, then add Mulling Spice Blend and bring almost to a boil. Add lemon juice.
Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and simmer for 30 minutes, or alternatively you may transfer hot cider to crock pot and simmer on low through the day.
Instant Pot - Place all ingredients in Instant Pot, stir well until sugar dissolves and set for 20 minutes high pressure. Natural or quick release as you prefer.
**If adding rum do so at very end or simply add ½ ounce to cup before ladling in hot cider.

1 1/4 cups water
2 (750-milliliter) bottles dry red wine
1 cup brandy
Cinnamon sticks for garnish
Directions:
Place the Mulling Spice Blend bundle in the saucepan, add the sugar and water and place the pan over med-high heat bringing to a simmer stirring to dissolve the sugar.
