Classic Non-Alcoholic
Mulled Apple Cider
Winter's porch drink
Fresh apple cider simmered with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel. A traditional British winter drink — the thing to drink after coming in from the cold. Cider, not juice, is the canonical base: the body and tannins carry the spice properly.
Ingredients
- 8 oz Apple Cider
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 4 Cloves
- 1 piece Orange Peel
Method
Gently heat apple cider in a saucepan with cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange peel. Do not boil. Simmer for 15 minutes to infuse. Strain into a mug. Leave the cinnamon stick in as garnish.
Sourced from Traditional British / American winter drink (pre-modern, documented from 16th century onward). Canonical form per Twinings, The Kitchn.
