Classic Mulled Apple Cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
Mulled wine's lighter, fruitier cousin. Apple cider naturally has a spicier character than wine, so perfect festive drinks require less sugar and spice. The scent filling the kitchen while cooking is therapy in itself.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan
  • Vegetable Peeler (for orange)
  • Ladle

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour cider into a saucepan and start heating over medium heat.

Tip: Heat slowly so alcohol doesn't evaporate suddenly (if making alcoholic version).
2 ✓

Toss in spices: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, orange zest, and stir in sugar.

Tip: Worth putting spices in a tea infuser for easy removal at the end.
3 ✓

Heat (do not boil!) for about 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Tip: 'Not boiling' is key: keep below boiling point (approx 175°F).
4 ✓

In the last 2-3 minutes, add apple slices.

Tip: They warm through and take on spice flavor but stay crisp.
5 ✓

Fish out spices (or infuser).

Tip: Biting on a clove is unpleasant.
6 ✓

Ladle into glasses, top with whipped cream and the cooked apple slice.

Tip: Serve hot.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use plain apple juice?
Yes, but hard cider (apple wine) gives that extra depth. Apple juice makes 'spiced cider', excellent for kids.
It turned bitter.
You included the white pith of the orange peel. Only peel the thin yellow layer containing oils; pith is bitter.
