HOT SPICED APPLE CIDER

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     beverage

Time 20m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups fresh apple cider
4 whole black peppercorns
6 or 7 (2 to 3-inch) cinnamon sticks
3 whole dried cloves
1 star anise
1 navel orange
Good bourbon, such as Maker's Mark (optional)
1 crisp red apple

Steps:

  • Place the apple cider, peppercorns, one of the cinnamon sticks, the cloves, and the star anise in a medium saucepan. Cut a large (1 by 4-inch) peel from the orange using a vegetable peeler and add it to the pan. Bring the cider mixture to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain into a 4-cup glass measuring cup and discard the solids.
  • Pour the hot cider into mugs or heatproof glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of bourbon to each mug. Cut the orange in half through the stem, slice crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick half-rounds, and add one slice to each mug. Cut the apple in half through the stem, remove the core, slice crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick half-rounds, and add one slice to each glass.
  • Serve hot with a cinnamon stick in each glass for stirring.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will give your cider a balance of sweetness, tartness, and complexity. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't peel the apples: The skins of apples contain a lot of flavor and nutrients, so don't peel them before you make cider. Just wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a good quality cider press: A good cider press will make it easy to extract the juice from the apples. If you don't have a cider press, you can also use a food processor or blender, but it will take more time and effort.
  • Let the cider ferment: Fermenting the cider will give it a more complex flavor and aroma. You can ferment the cider for as little as a few days or as long as a few months. The longer you ferment it, the more complex the flavor will be.
  • Add spices and flavorings: You can add spices and flavorings to the cider to give it a unique flavor. Some popular additions include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.

Conclusion:

Making hot damn apple cider is a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and refreshing cider that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give hot damn apple cider a try. You won't be disappointed!
