Equipment
- 1 Cast Iron Enamel 7 Quart Crock
- 1 Slow Cooker optional
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Apple Juice
- 2 Cups Orange Juice
- 3 Cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 tsp Whole Cloves
Optional
- 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 4 whole Star anise
- 2 whole Cardamom pods.
- 6 whole Allspice berries.
- 4 pieces Orange or apple slices,
- 2 tbsp Pure maple syrup, for added sweetness
Instructions
- In a large saucepan on the stove, combine the apple juice with the orange juice.
- Cut apple and orange slices thinly. Then add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, apple and orange slices into the cider pot. Turn on high and bring to a boil.
- Once the liquid is boiling, reduce to medium heat to a simmer. Simmer for 15-25 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool, serve in a cozy mug and ENJOY!
Notes
- Add the spices to a small cheesecloth bag before placing them into the cider mixture on the stovetop. This will prevent the spices from going into the serving mug.
- For the best flavor, don’t let your cider simmer for too long with the spices as it will take on a bitter taste. When the cider is ready, it will produce a wonderful aroma. Once you have the desired flavor you are wanting, remove the spices from the mixture.
- Try adding a few different spices with you to make mulled apple cider for a flavor variation.
- Garnish your cider with a stick of cinnamon and dried orange slices for a beautiful holiday treat.
- If you have a small amount of cider left over, let it simmer in a small pot and reduce to low heat. It will work like a scented simmer pot and make your entire house smell amazing!
