Steps:
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the apple cider. Stir in the brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg until the sugar is dissolved and bring to a low boil.
- Stick the pointy ends of the cloves into the orange so that just the buds of the cloves are visible. The entire orange should be covered with the cloves.
- Add the orange to the cider and reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- Serve in warm mugs with a cinnamon stick garnish. For adults, add bourbon to the cider.
Tips:
- Choose the right cider. Not all ciders are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a hard cider that is relatively dry and has a crisp, apple flavor. Avoid ciders that are too sweet or too tart.
- Use fresh spices. Fresh spices will give your cider the best flavor. If you can, use whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. You can add more or less spices, or you can try using different types of cider or fruit.
- Serve warm or cold. This cider can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, heat it gently in a saucepan over low heat. If you're serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Spicy spiked cider is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give this recipe a try.
