This Is the Sparkling Hot Apple Cider You've Been Craving All Year

I love hot apple cider. It's so good to sip on a chilly Winter afternoon, which makes this elevated sparkling version what you want to serve the next time you have friends coming over. Slices of fresh ginger give the drinks so much flavor and just a little warming heat. Simply pour all the ingredients into your slow cooker, set it to medium, and you're set.
