Mulled Apple Juice
"Perfect for those cold winter nights. If you're looking to spice things up a little bit more, adding spiced rum is fantastic. I've done it with both juice made from concentrate and fresh apple juice and both are delicious"

Perfect for the last throes of winter here (I hope). What attracted me to this recipe is the lack of added sugar, and the use of star anise and cardamom. They made a nice change from the usual spiced cider. Very tasty! I did mine in my smaller crockpot and simmered it for about 4 hours. Made for TOP FAVORITES of 2009 COOKBOOKS TAG GAME -
