HOT APPLE CIDER SPIKED WITH CALVADOS APPLE BRANDY
Grown-up hot apple cider. Perfect for a cold winter day. My recipe actually calls for mulling spice, however, RecipeZaar does not recognize it as an ingredient. Use 3-4 tablespoons mulling spice in place of allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks and orange rind, if available. Use good quality fresh apple cider (not apple juice.) This would also make a nice cocktail if cooled and served over ice.

Steps:
- Bring cider to simmer over medium heat.
- Add mulling spice (using cheesecloth or large tea ball). Mull for 15 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove.
- Stir in brandy. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right cider: Use a high-quality apple cider that is not too sweet. You can also use a hard cider if you prefer a stronger drink.
- Add your favorite spices: Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice are all classic choices for spiking cider. You can also add other spices like ginger, cardamom, or star anise for a more unique flavor.
- Sweeten to taste: If your cider is too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to sweeten it. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar for a more natural sweetener.
- Garnish with citrus: A slice of orange or lemon adds a bright, citrusy flavor to spiked cider. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a star anise pod for a festive touch.
- Serve warm: Spiked cider is best served warm. You can heat it in a slow cooker or on the stovetop over low heat. Be careful not to boil the cider, as this will drive off the alcohol.
Conclusion:
Spiked cider is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for holiday gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect spiked cider that will warm you up from the inside out.
