8 large dried apple rings
Small handful dried currants (optional)
4 ounces calvados or applejack (see Straight Up)
64 ounces fresh apple cider
12 whole cloves
6 whole star anise
3 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons brown sugar for dredging the apple slices
24 ounces dark rum
8 extra-long cinnamon sticks

1
Place the dried apples and currants in a large plastic zippered bag, add the calvados, and seal the bag.
2
Allow to steep in the refrigerator overnight.
3
When ready to serve, gently warm the cider and spices in a potdo not allow the mixture to boil.
4
Meanwhile, remove the apple slices from the plastic bag and dredge each in the brown sugar.
5
Pour a healthy shot of rum into each mug and add the cider.
6
I do not mind if the mulling spices get into the finished drink, but if you prefer your drink without the spices, you may pour the cider through a fine-mesh strainer into the mugs.
7
Float one or two sugared apple slices on each drink, spoon the currants over the apples, add a long cinnamon stick, and serve.
8
Spiked Pear Cider: Prepare the hot spiked cider using pear cider in place of the apple cider, Poire William (a pear eau-de-vie) instead of the calvados, and dried pears instead of the dried apples.
