I love unpasteurized, unfiltered apple cider. There is a great apple orchard/stand in Utah where we used to buy it, but unfortunately we haven’t found anything like that where we live now. We managed to get some decent cider at Trader Joe’s and used this recipe to help ring in the holidays. It was the best mulled cider I’ve had yet!
Mulled Apple Cider with Orange and Ginger
- 8 cups unpasteurized apple cider
- A 3-inch cinnamon stick
- 10 whole cloves
- 1 navel orange, peeled and sliced crosswise
- A 2-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, cut into 6 slices
In a large saucepan combine the cider, the cinnamon stick, the cloves, the orange and the ginger and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a heat-proof pitcher and serve the mulled cider warm.
