Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, juicy oranges. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • Use whole cloves: Whole cloves will give your cider a more intense flavor than ground cloves. If you don't have whole cloves, you can use ground cloves, but use half the amount.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the cider to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Add the brandy at the end: Adding the brandy at the end of the cooking process will prevent it from evaporating. This will give your cider a more pronounced brandy flavor.
  • Serve warm: Orange-cloved hot cider is best served warm. You can reheat it gently over low heat or in the microwave.

Conclusion:

Orange-cloved hot cider is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its warm, spicy flavor, this cider is sure to put you in the holiday spirit. So gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try!
