Christmas mulled cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
A lighter, fruitier alternative to mulled wine. The acidity of the apple and the sweetness of the spices create a natural balance. Since apple juice (or cider) has a natural pectin content, making it fuller-bodied than water, the drink gives a silky mouthfeel.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the cider (or juice) into a saucepan. Toss in the spices and citrus slices.

Tip: The essential oils in the citrus peels are released by the heat, adding freshness to the drink.
2 ✓

Heat on a low heat until it starts to steam. Do not boil!

Tip: If using cider, boiling will evaporate the alcohol. If using apple juice, you can boil it a little for more intense flavours.
3 ✓

Stir in the honey and let it stand on the heat (without boiling) for 10-15 minutes for the flavours to meld.

Tip: Add the honey at the end so its valuable nutrients aren't damaged by the heat.
4 ✓

Strain and serve hot.

Tip: Garnish the glass with a slice of fresh apple.
