Mulled Cider Recipe

  • Mulled Cider Recipe

On Saturday after a day of drinking a whole load of different styles of beer, including IPA, Stout, Saison, Barley Wine and even a Cucumber beer, I was lured in by the smell of Chrismas wafting over the bar at Pivni inYork, the smell was mulled cider at £3.50 for a stemmed glass  it wasn’t cheap but it was oh so worth it, sweet, fruity, spicy and above all warm it was just what I wanted.

Hot, sweet and spicy!

I have no idea what was in their cider, there were a few flavours we picked out but I don’t think we got them all, which had me wanting to make my own the very next day.

It’s surprisingly simple and I think it’s as good as if not better than mulled wine, It could probably take some sort of spirit in there, maybe some brandy or sloe gin and maybe a little more fruit, possibly some apple or cranberries. I did also think about adding a pinch of chilli powder for a bit of heat but decided against that for now. Here’s my first attempt:

This makes 2 glasses, but should up scale easily enough….you can always taste it as you heat it and adjust the spices.

  • 1 bottle of dry cider
  • big pinch of grated nutmeg
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 all spice berries
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbsp sugar (to taste)
  • zest and Juice of 1 Clementine

There’s not really a method, you just need to tip the cider and all of the ingredients in to a saucepan, then bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes, strain through a sieve and serve.

    Will boiling it remove the alcohol or reduce the alcohol content? Which may not be a bad thing – something that warms you up and gives you the feeling of a boozy warm glow, but leaving your drinking capacity intact!

    If going to ‘fortify’ it afterwards perhaps some Julian Temperley Cider Brandy would be what’s called for?

      I’m not sure how much of the booze is evaporated but i bet the cider brandy would soon sort that…

    Hmm, I’ve 22 litres of cider in a fermenter right now. I reckon a large portion might get mulled next month 😀 (I’ve another 80 or so litres of juice to ferment if we run out ;))

      22 litres bet that took some making.

    This looks like a nice alternative recipe, I also found a nice mulled cider winter warmer here.
