Warm Spiced Orange Cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
Spicing up apple cider is based on the technique of mulled wine, but with a lower alcohol content (or none at all) for a lighter drink. The aromas of orange and spices diffuse into the liquid under heat, creating a warming, fragrant blend that doesn't dull the senses.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan: for heating.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the oranges. Place them in a saucepan with the cider, honey, and spices.

Tip: Essential oils are released from the peel, adding a more complex flavor.
2 ✓

Heat to a simmer, but do not boil! Keep warm for 10 minutes.

Tip: Boiling would evaporate the alcohol (if present) and the delicate aromas.
3 ✓

Turn off heat, add lemon juice, and rest for 5 minutes. Strain and serve with mint.

Tip: Lemon juice freshness dulls under heat, so add it only at the end.
