Mulled Cider

Cider is my go-to hot drink during the fall season, bringing warmth and comfort with every sip. This particular recipe was shared with me by my sister, and it has become a cherished staple in my home ever since. My favorite cider to use is from a nearby orchard in Poplar Grove, Illinois known as Edwards Orchard. Such a rich and creamy cider. With its rich and flavorful blend, it perfectly captures the essence of autumn. I highly recommend giving it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients:

1/2 Gallon of your favorite Apple Orchard Cider

1/2 cup Brown Sugar (light or dark)

1 tsp. Whole Cloves

1 tsp. Allspice

1 Ceylon Cinnamon Stick

Instructions:

  • Place all spices in a cheesecloth
  • Bring cider to a boil. Add the cheesecloth of spices.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

This recipe also works well in a coffee urn if you have one on hand.
