Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 (2 Quart) Jugs Spiced Apple Cider
- 1 (16 oz) Carton Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3/4 to 1 Cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the spiced apple cider, heavy whipping cream, and brown sugar into an 8-quart slow cooker. Whisk them together thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Heat Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW heat. Allow the mixture to warm until it reaches your desired temperature, which typically takes about two hours. Avoid cooking on HIGH to prevent curdling of the cream.
- Keep Warm and Serve: Once the cider is warmed, switch the slow cooker setting to WARM. Stir the mixture well before serving. Ladle the hot cider into your favorite mug. Keep the cider covered and stir occasionally if left to sit, ensuring it stays delicious all day long.
Notes
- For a healthier sweetener alternative, use 3/4 cup liquid sweetener such as agave and add about a tablespoon of molasses instead of brown sugar.
- Avoid cooking on high heat as it may cause the cream to curdle and alter the texture of the cider.
