Warm Nutmeg & Cinnamon Cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
Mulled cider is the Anglo-Saxon world's answer to 'mulled wine'. The acidity of the apple and the warmth of the spices make for a perfect winter drink. The secret is slow heating: if you boil it, the alcohol evaporates (if using hard cider) and the delicate essential oils also escape.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Grater

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the cider into the saucepan. Add the cinnamon, cloves, orange slices, and freshly grated nutmeg.

Tip: Nutmeg aromas are volatile; fresh grating is much more intense than store-bought powder [preserving essential oils].
2 ✓

Heat slowly to a simmer, but DO NOT boil! Keep it just below simmering for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: Infusion accelerates with heat, but boiling would ruin the fresh fruity notes.
3 ✓

Remove from heat and stir in the honey.

Tip: It's best not to boil honey as it loses beneficial properties, so add it only at the end.
4 ✓

Strain into glasses and serve warm.
