Mulled Cider
Warm apple cider with a hint of orange and wonderful warming spices.
Ingredients
- 2 quarts apple cider – or a good apple juice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 whole allspice berries
- 2 whole cloves
- 2 cardamom pods whole
- 1 orange – thinly sliced
Instructions
- Pour the cider into a large saucepan.
- Add the orange slices and spices.
- Bring to a simmer – and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Notes
Placing the spices in a cloth bag or tea ball makes serving easier.
You can simmer this for as little as 10 minutes - but the flavor improves with time. Just be sure that you cover the pot with a lid if you plan to simmer it longer - you don't want it all to evaporate!
If you have leftovers, store the cider in the refrigerator - but be sure to remove the orange slices first.
