Tangy passion fruit cider with a tropical twist

Passion fruit spiced cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
The tropical, intensely aromatic nature of passion fruit works surprisingly well with the 'earthier' apple taste of cider. This is not your usual Christmas punch: it's a vibrant, acidic, exotic bomb. Passion fruit seeds add crunchy texture, but if that bothers you, they can easily be strained out.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the insides into a small bowl with a spoon.

Tip: If you don't like seeds crunching under your teeth, pass it through a sieve now and use only the yellow juice.
2 ✓

Warm the cider, honey, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together over medium heat.

Tip: Salt is a key player here too: it highlights the sweetness of tropical fruit.
3 ✓

When steaming, remove from heat and immediately stir in the passion fruit pulp (or juice) and lemon juice.

Tip: Passion fruit aromas are heat-sensitive. If you boil it, it loses that distinctive 'perfumed' scent.
4 ✓

Let stand covered for 5-10 minutes.

Tip: This is enough time for flavours to meld, but not hot enough to damage the fruit flavour.
5 ✓

Serve warm. If you left the seeds in, provide a teaspoon too.

Tip: You can garnish with a slice of lime, visually signalling the tart flavour profile.

How do I choose passion fruit?
Wrinkled passion fruit is ripe and sweet! If the skin is smooth, leave it to ripen on the counter for a few days.
The drink is sour. What should I do?
