Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups cranberry juice cocktail
1 1/2 cups apple cider
3 tablespoons sugar
4 slices peeled fresh ginger (1/4 inch thick)
5 cardamom pods
12 black peppercorns

5 whole cloves, plus additional for studding orange slices

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except garnish in a medium saucepan and simmer, covered, 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 20 minutes.
  • Strain through a sieve into a heatproof pitcher; pour into heatproof glasses.

Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use a variety of apples for a complex flavor. Good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Simmer the cider: Simmering the cider concentrates the flavors and makes it more aromatic.
  • Add cranberries at the end: Cranberries cook quickly, so adding them at the end ensures they retain their tart flavor and bright color.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of your apples and cranberries.
  • Serve warm or cold: Hot cranberry apple cider is perfect for a cold winter day, but it can also be served chilled for a refreshing summer drink.
