Mulled cider with juniper and orange

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
When the cold sets in, cider reveals a new side. This recipe is a lighter, fruitier alternative to mulled wine. The piney, resinous scent of juniper berries and the orange oil turn apple juice into a warm, spicy embrace. The whipped cream on top isn't just decoration: its fat binds the spice aromas and makes the sip silky.

Instructions

1 ✓

Lightly crush the juniper berries with the flat of a knife. Place them in the saucepan with the cinnamon, orange zest, nutmeg, and honey.

Tip: The hard shell of the juniper needs to be cracked so the flavour compounds inside can dissolve into the liquid.
2 ✓

Pour over the cider and heat on a low flame until steaming. Do not boil! Keep at this temperature for 5-8 minutes.

Tip: This is the infusion time: heat causes the spices to transfer their flavour to the alcoholic liquid.
3 ✓

Strain the drink into heatproof mugs.

Tip: Straining removes the spice pieces so sipping isn't unpleasant.
4 ✓

Spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top and stick in a rosemary sprig.

Tip: As the cold whipped cream slowly melts into the hot cider, it forms a creamy emulsion.

Recipe FAQ

Can I boil the cider?
Preferably not! Boiling evaporates the alcohol (above 78°C) and the fresh apple taste becomes 'stewed'. Just simmer (approx. 70-75°C).
What can I replace juniper with?
If you don't have juniper, a sprig of fresh rosemary adds a similar resinous, forest character.
