HAPPY NATIONAL MULLED CIDER DAY!!!
Mulled cider gets its name from the definition of mull, which means to flavor a beverage by heating it and adding spices.
Mulled cider is a hot or warm drink, typically made from apple juice or cider, and is most popular during autumn and winter. It is sometimes called wassail, or wassail punch. However, typically wassail would be made with ale or beer. Modern, child-friendly versions are more likely to be made with either apple or cranberry juice, or a combination of juices.
