Spiced Apple Cider

Warm up with the taste of pure comfort! 🍎✨ Spiced Apple Cider bliss. So good! 😋

1. Let’s Start Here:

Spiced Apple Cider is a warm and comforting drink that perfectly captures the essence of autumn. Infused with aromatic spices, it's a delightful treat for chilly evenings and festive gatherings.

2. Ingredients List:

• ¼ Tsp. allspice
• 4 cups freshly pressed apple juice (not from concentrate)
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 inch piece of ginger, sliced
• 1 Tbsp. maple syrup (optional)
• 1/8 Tsp. nutmeg
• ½ orange, sliced into discs
• 1 cup water

3. How to Cook:

Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and gently simmer over low heat, allowing the spices to infuse their flavors into the cider. Stir occasionally to ensure even distribution of the spices. Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 1: Combine and Boil Ingredients

In a large, non-reactive pot, combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, let it continue for about 5 minutes. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-40 minutes.

Step 2: Strain and Serve

Line a colander with cheesecloth. Carefully strain the cider through the cheesecloth-lined colander to remove the solids. Serve the cider warm, or add a shot of dark rum for an extra kick.

4. Serving Suggestions

Serve the spiced apple cider warm in mugs, garnished with a cinnamon stick or an apple slice. It pairs wonderfully with baked goods like apple pie or gingerbread cookies.
