On a cold evening, warm up with a nonalcoholic take on mulled cider fortified with zero-proof rum. To make prep easier, put the small spices in a tea ball for infusing. This recipe also works well with zero-proof whiskey or bourbon. Pro tip: This also makes a great brunch drink and is easy to multiply for a crowd.
