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