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:
- Select the right cider: Opt for a fresh, high-quality apple cider, preferably one that's unfiltered and unpasteurized, for the best flavor.
- Use fresh oranges and cloves: Fresh oranges and cloves impart a more vibrant flavor to the cider. Avoid using dried or pre-ground spices.
- Simmer gently: Bring the cider to a gentle simmer and maintain it throughout the cooking process. This helps infuse the flavors without evaporating the alcohol content.
- Add brandy to taste: The amount of brandy you add depends on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- Garnish with orange slices and cloves: Garnish the cider with orange slices and cloves for an extra touch of festive flair.
