Honey and toasted almond mulled cider

Cider is not only good cold and bubbly. Hot, infused with spices, it is a lighter alternative to mulled wine. Honey rounds out the apple's acidity, while toasted almonds bring a 'chewable' element to the drink. A real soul-warmer.

Instructions

1

Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until golden brown.

Tip: The essential oils are activated by heat, making the flavour more intense.
2

Heat the cider with the spices (cinnamon, cloves, salt) to boiling point, but do not let it boil vigorously.

Tip: Salt highlights the sweet flavours.
3

Remove from the heat, stir in the honey and vanilla. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Tip: Do not boil the honey and vanilla, as they lose their aroma.
4

Strain into glasses, pile whipped cream on top and sprinkle with the almonds.

Recipe FAQ

Alcohol-free?
If you buy alcoholic cider, some alcohol evaporates during heating, but not all! For children, use unfiltered apple juice.
