Chef notes
As the cider heats in the slow cooker, it fills the house with the aroma of holiday cheer.
Technique Tip: If you don't have a slow cooker, the glogg can be heated on the stovetop in an 8 quart pan to about 165° F. for 15 minutes.
Swap Option: Leave out the brandy to make it nonalcoholic.
