Hot Mulled Cider

2007-09-25

Crisp air, crunchy leaves, pumpkin harvest and Halloween!

This is so good on a cool fall day or Halloween celebration especially with plain or cinnamon donuts (try non-trans fat ones)!

Hot Mulled Cider
(mulled is to add spices then heat it)

Four servings with antioxidants (from the spices)

4 cups of apple cider
10 whole cloves
10 black peppercorns
4 strips of orange zest (3 inches by 1/2 inch)
1 cinnamon stick, cracked
1 vanilla bean, split

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, bring all ingredients to a boil.
Remove from heat and let seep for 30 minutes.
Discard the spices (you can use a strainer)
Reheat till the mixture begins to steam.
Ladle into mugs; wait 3-5 minutes then serve.

raggedtiger ---- Because there is also apple juice, and apple drink which are not pure 100% apple cider since the first two have additives to them which if used, would make this unbearable to drink. The texture would not be the same either. Hope that helps clarify things. Always use the ingredients specified.

I dont mean to be picky, but you said "4 cups of apple cider". Cider is made out of apples, so why put down "apple cider"??? Other than that, it sounds jolly nice.
