I don't know about periodness, and I can't document, but mulled cider
almost seems to evaporate at our MidWinter's Tale event every year.   No
recipe really, either.  We just dump lots of cider (NOT apple juice) into
the biggest pot we can get our hands on.  Put it on over low heat.  Put
several cinnamon sticks, some whole cloves, a whole nutmeg, and some
whole coriander seed into a cloth bag or piece of cheesecloth and tie up.
 Drop it in the cider and stir occasionally until hot. Serve.  I usually
have two pots going so that one can be heating while the other is being
served and just rotate them out. I've noticed that the bag of spices
usually will last for 2-3 pots before getting weak.
