Ziploc Bags

Pour a healthy shot of rum into each mug and add the cider. 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. Float one or two sugared apple slices on each drink, spoon the currants over the apples, add a long cinnamon stick, and serve.
