Time to wrap up Drinks Week! Darcie’s come up with another wonderful non-alcoholic beverage for you today, with this spicy Hot Mulled Cider. Of course, if you prefer a tipple, you can always add the optional brandy and we won’t tell. It’s a great recipe to have in your repertoire either way!
Thank you for joining us this week, and please come back tomorrow for Small Bites Week, when we’ll kick off seven days of snacks, appetizers and noshes that are perfect for parties.

Hot Mulled Cider
Print recipeIngredients
- 2 quarts fresh apple cider
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 1 star anise
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 cardamom pod (lightly bruised)
- 1/2 orange (zest only)
Optional
- 1/2 cup brandy
Directions
| In a large saucepan, simmer the apple cider and spices for 1/2 hour. Remove from the heat and stir in the brandy. Pour through a sieve to remove the spices. (Do not leave the spices in too long, to avoid overly intense flavors which can overpower the cider.) | |
| You can make the cider ahead of time, just be sure to store in a thermal carafe so it is served piping hot. |
