This beautiful ruby-red drink is perfect as a warm, sweet juice treat for the kids, or as a delicious non-alcoholic Valentine's drink for you and your honey! I don't add sugar, as I think it's sweet enough, but you could if you wish, or add more water if it's too sweet. Also, use unsweetened juices to make it good for you!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 24.2, Carbohydrate 6.2, Sugar 6.2

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful raspberries: The quality of your raspberries will greatly impact the flavor of your cider. Look for berries that are plump, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Use fresh apple cider: Fresh apple cider has a more complex and flavorful taste than store-bought apple juice. You can find fresh apple cider at most farmers markets, orchards, and grocery stores.
  • Simmer the cider gently: Do not boil the cider, as this will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the cider to lose its flavor. Instead, simmer the cider gently over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until it is heated through.
  • Add spices and sweetener to taste: The amount of spices and sweetener you add to your cider is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. Common spices used in warm cider include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Common sweeteners include honey, maple syrup, and sugar.
  • Serve the cider warm: Warm cider is best enjoyed when served warm. You can reheat the cider over low heat or in the microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Warm raspberry cider is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your cider sweet, tart, or spicy, there is a recipe out there for you. So gather your ingredients and give this warm raspberry cider a try. You won't be disappointed!
