Spiced Apple Cider
This spiced cider recipe with Warm Wishes - Mulling Spice Packs creates a delightful beverage that captures the essence of autumn and winter. 🍎🍂✨
Ingredients
- 1 gallon (approx. 4 liters) apple cider
- 2 Warm Wishes - Mulling Spice Packs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: Cinnamon sticks for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Mulling Spice Packs: Place both Warm Wishes -Mulling Spice Packs in a large pot.
- Pour Apple Cider: Pour the apple cider into the pot with the mulling spices.
- Add Brown Sugar: Stir in brown sugar to sweeten the cider. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
- Heat Gently: Heat the cider over medium-low heat. Allow it to gently simmer, but avoid bringing it to a boil. Mulling spices release their flavors best at lower temperatures.
- Infuse Flavors: Let the cider simmer for at least 20-30 minutes, allowing the mulling spices to infuse their flavors into the cider. The longer you simmer, the more robust the flavors will be.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cider to remove all of the mulling spices and any small spice particles.
- Serve Warm: Ladle the spiced cider into mugs or heatproof glasses. Optionally, garnish with cinnamon sticks for added visual appeal.
