Mulled cider punch

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
Punch originally meant five ingredients (spirits, sugar, lemon, water, spice), but this modern cider version simplifies the formula while keeping the richness. Apple cider replaces water and spirits, while orange and spices bring the punch character. This is the 'lazy man's mulled wine', conjuring a festive atmosphere in the kitchen in moments.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the cider and orange juice into the saucepan.

Tip: The mixture provides the body.
2 ✓

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon juice. Start heating.

Tip: The acidity of lemon juice 'highlights' the sweetness of sugar and the spices.
3 ✓

Heat for approx. 10 minutes over low heat, just simmering.

Tip: Time is needed for the hard structure of cloves and cinnamon to soften and release flavour.
4 ✓

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Tip: The volatile aroma of vanilla would fly away from boiling, so always add it at the end.
5 ✓

Strain the drink into mugs.

Tip: We get a clear drink, without spice pieces.
6 ✓

Garnish with whipped cream and orange slices. Enjoy warm!

Tip: The melting of whipped cream constantly changes the texture of the drink.
