THE BEST MULLED CIDER IN THE WORLD

I really like mulled wine but I have always been paranoid that my teeth are going to get stained. Last year I realised that mulled cider was a better option for my paranoia. I have to say this recipe was actually created by my super healthy hubby Liam. This drink will be a sure fire hit for your guests…if you let them have any. Make sure you check out the secret ingredient at the bottom.

INGREDIENTS

Cider
Brandy
Rum
Orange slices (I used these ones from Nims)
Cinnamon sticks
Coconut nectar

METHOD

• Pour your cider into a pan with star anise.
• Heat the cider over a low heat until hot.
• Pour a little coconut nectar in your mug.
(This is down to personal preference of how sweet you want it.
We used coconut nectar over honey as the flavour isn’t as strong).
• Pour your warmed cider into your mug, 3/4 full.
• Pour in half a shot or rum and brandy.
• Pop in a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick.

THE SECRET INGREDIENT

The secret way to make this the best mulled in the world is by creating a cinnamon infused brandy. Four years ago now Liam popped a couple of cinnamon sticks in a Waitrose own brandy and left it in there. It is incredibly strong but as an addition to a cider, it immediately turns the cider into a festive scented treat for the soul.

Let me know if you make this drink or created a cinnamon infused cider. I would love to see pictures. Make sure you tag me on social media @itsmegantaylor

MULLED CIDER SURPRISE

Oooo Christmas is imminent and the parties are in full swing. If you are hosting your own Christmas party at home you will want to make this drink for two reasons. Reason number 1 is that it is scrumptious and makes your house smell like the best Christmas grotto in the world. Reason number 2 is most important because, if you guests spill this you won’t have to cover your carpets and furniture in salt to banish those red wine stains. Oh, and wonderfully this drink is really easy to make and you can make a big batch of it. You can leave the drink heating in the pan whilst you are busy touching up your make up. This mulled cider is served with a dash of brandy to give it the perfect kick. For another amazing cocktail recipe which you will love make sure you check out my El Presidente.

METHOD

• Pour your cider into a saucepan.
• Pop in your spices such as cloves, star anise and cinnamon sticks.
• Put a lid on the pan and leave to heat gently on a very low heat for as long as needed.
