Tapas Tuesday: Mulled Apple Cider


Now that the weather is cool, it is time for one of my favorite adult bevs.  Whether you are tailgating, answering the door for trick-or-treaters,  or just sitting in front of the fire, Mulled Apple Cider is a festive delicious treat.  I got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman.  This concoction really hits the spot, and it makes your house smell fabulous.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 Whole Cinnamon Sticks
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 8 Whole Allspice Berries
  • Orange Peel from 1 Orange
  • Lemon Peel from 1 Lemon
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 6 cups Unfiltered (fresh squeezed is great) Apple Juice
  • 1/2 cup Dark Rum (optional)

Preparation Instructions

Place cinnamon sticks, ground cloves, allspice berries, orange peel, and lemon peel in a medium saucepan. Pour in maple syrup and apple juice, then bring to almost a boil. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and serve in mugs.  Add 1/2 cup of dark rum (or more) if you choose.  Enjoy!
