Warm over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring once in a while to make sure the sweetener is dissolved. Ladle the liquid into mugs, discarding the spices. To make mulled apple cider, all you need are the spices and cider. Place 1/2 - 1 gallon apple cider in slow cooker on low for 4 hours. Stovetop: Add cider and spices to pot, bring the mix to a boil, cover, and simmer for about a half an hour. Discard spices and serve hot cider in mugs. Optionally add a slice of lemon or orange or a bit of brandy if desired. Yum
