How To Have Your Potpourri And Drink It Too
I used to have a miniature crock pot in my kitchen to keep aromatic potpourri simmering all day long in order to send wonderful scents throughout the house. It worked very well and I liked having our house smelling so sweet and yummy all the time. But, now I’m onto something bigger and better… Orange Spiced Cider. What a wonderful way to send a sweet and spicy aroma wafting throughout the house, and end up with a wonderful hot drink at the same time! I used to stir up a spiced cider only during the holidays, but now, every day is a holiday as far as my family is concerned.
When looking for recipes for hot, mulled cider, start by considering slowcooker recipes. Crock pots are a natural for simmering hot, spicy drinks because they cook on low temperature, meaning you never have to stand over your stove and be a “pot watcher”. The recipes are uncomplicated, making them perfect for holiday parties when you are busy with your other dishes. A crock pot can be simmering away, keeping your cider hot and your home aromatic, ready and waiting for your family and guests to enjoy.
