Grown-up hot apple cider. Perfect for a cold winter day. My recipe actually calls for mulling spice, however, RecipeZaar does not recognize it as an ingredient. Use 3-4 tablespoons mulling spice in place of allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks and orange rind, if available. Use good quality fresh apple cider (not apple juice.) This would also make a nice cocktail if cooled and served over ice. Ingredients:
1 gallon good quality apple cider (found in produce section) |
2 cups apple brandy (such as calvados) |
2 teaspoons whole allspice |
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves |
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half |
2 orange strips (3 x 1-inch) |
Directions:
1. Bring cider to simmer over medium heat.
2. Add mulling spice (using cheesecloth or large tea ball). Mull for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove.
3. Stir in brandy. Serve.
