It's November and cold weather has set in, time for some delicious hot apple cider.
I grabbed what I had on hand for this recipe.
- 2 cups of apple cider
- 1 teaspoon of whole allspice
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 teaspoon of whole cloves
- 3 teaspoons of brown sugar
- 2 star-shaped anises optional (garnish)
- apple optional (garnish)
As I poured the cider into a small saucepan, I turned on the heat to high.
I added the spices first, the whole allspice, cinnamon sticks,
whole cloves and then the brown sugar.
You do have the option to wrap the allspice and cloves in a cheesecloth and then
add it to the pot. I simply strained everything instead.
Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat and keep it warm.
Pour it into a cup and add garnish if you wish, then serve.
I added my anise star and cinnamon stick.
You can also add an apple slice as I did below to impress guests.
Enjoy!
