Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the cider into a saucepan, add spices (cinnamon, cloves), and sugar. Start heating gently.

Tip: Heat slowly so any carbonation doesn't foam up, although most bubbles will evaporate during heating.
2 ✓

Once steaming, add the banana and mango purees. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate them into the liquid.

Tip: The purees thicken the drink (increasing viscosity), giving a creamier mouthfeel.
3 ✓

Simmer gently for 5 minutes (do not boil!), then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

Tip: High heat can damage vanilla's volatile aroma compounds, so add it at the very end.
4 ✓

Strain into glasses and crown with whipped cream.

Tip: The fatty whipped cream helps carry the fruity flavors.
