Description

Aromatic, warming drink perfect for chilly autumn and winter evenings. This is a non-alcoholic variation of the classic mulled wine, where naturally cloudy apple juice, also known as non-alcoholic cider, takes center stage. Its sweetness and depth of flavor are perfectly balanced by the citrus note of fresh orange and a rich bouquet of spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. A unique addition is a sprig of fresh rosemary, which brings a surprising, forest-like, and slightly resinous note that pairs wonderfully with the apple. The drink has a beautiful amber color, and the floating spices and orange slices make it visually appealing. Served hot, it envelops the entire home with its aroma, creating a cozy and festive atmosphere.

Preparation steps

1

Start by thoroughly preparing the orange. Use a brush and warm water to scrub its skin. Then pour boiling water over it to remove wax and any possible impurities. Cut the orange in half. Squeeze the juice from one half directly into a large pot. Cut the other half into thick slices about 0.5 cm thick.

Ingredients: Orange
It is best to use a pot with a capacity of at least 3 liters with a thick bottom. This will prevent the sugars from the juice from sticking and burning during heating.
2

Pour the entire liter of cloudy apple juice into the pot with orange juice. Add the previously prepared orange slices. Toss in all the spices: two cinnamon sticks, about 10 whole cloves, two star anise, and two fresh sprigs of rosemary. If you choose to use ginger, peel it and slice it thinly, then add it to the pot as well.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Orange, Cinnamon stick, Whole cloves, Star anise, Fresh rosemary, Fresh ginger
Add the spices whole. This will make it easier to remove them later and keep the drink clear. Do not break the cinnamon sticks.
3

Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the mixture, gently stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time. Watch the liquid – your goal is to bring it to the point where it starts to steam, and very small bubbles appear at the edges of the pot. This is just before boiling.

This is the most important moment! Absolutely do not allow the drink to boil. Boiling can cause the spices (especially the orange peel) to release bitter notes, and the juice will lose its freshness and delicacy of flavor.
4

As soon as you notice that the drink is very hot (but not boiling), immediately reduce the burner to the absolute minimum. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap for the steam to escape. Leave the cider on low heat for about 20-25 minutes. During this time, the flavors and aromas of all the ingredients will combine, creating a deep and complex composition.

A wonderful, spicy aroma will start to fill your kitchen – this is a sign that the brewing process is going well. The longer the drink is gently heated, the more intense its flavor will be.
5

After 20-25 minutes, turn off the heat. Using a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs, carefully remove the larger pieces from the drink: orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and rosemary sprigs. Now taste the cider. If you find it not sweet enough, add one tablespoon of maple syrup, mix well, and taste again. Gradually add syrup until you reach your perfect level of sweetness.

Ingredients: Maple syrup
Before serving, it is advisable to strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve. This will catch the small cloves and other tiny spice fragments, ensuring the drink is perfectly smooth.
6

Pour the hot, aromatic cider into mugs or thick, heat-resistant glasses using a ladle. To make the drink look even more beautiful, you can add a fresh slice of orange, a small cinnamon stick, or a small sprig of rosemary to each vessel. Serve immediately to enjoy its warming power.

Use mugs with handles to avoid burns. The drink is very hot. If you're making it for a party, you can transfer it to a thermos or beverage warmer to keep it warm for a long time.

Fun Fact

💡

Heated beverages based on juices and wine, known as 'wassail' in England or 'Glühwein' in Germany, have roots in ancient Rome. They were valued not only for their taste but also for their warming and medicinal properties attributed to the added spices.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in thick glass mugs or stoneware dishes that retain heat for a long time. You can add a fresh slice of orange or a sprig of rosemary to each serving to enhance the aroma and visual effect. For an 'adult' version, you can add 25-40 ml of dark rum or brandy to the finished hot cider per serving.

🥡 Storage

Leftover cider can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container (e.g., a jar) for up to 3 days. Before storing in the refrigerator, strain it from the spices to prevent it from becoming too bitter or intense in flavor. Reheat slowly over low heat, avoiding boiling.
