Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Use Fresh Pomegranate Juice: Fresh pomegranate juice adds a beautiful color and tart flavor to the cider. If you don't have fresh pomegranate juice, you can use store-bought unsweetened pomegranate juice.
- Add Spices and Honey to Taste: The amount of spices and honey you add to the cider is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Simmer, Don't Boil: Bring the cider to a simmer over low heat. Do not boil the cider, as this will cause the flavors to become harsh.
- Serve Warm: Mulled cider is best served warm. You can reheat it gently over low heat or in the microwave.
