Description

Here is the essence of autumn-winter comfort captured in a mug. Spiced Apple Mulled Cider is a non-alcoholic warming drink that envelops you with its rich aroma and deep flavor. The base is high-quality, naturally cloudy apple juice, which is slowly heated with a bouquet of carefully selected spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Fresh ginger adds a touch of freshness and mild spiciness, while the whole is complemented by the citrus note of juicy orange and a surprising, forest-like hint of fresh rosemary. The drink has a beautiful amber color, and when served in glass mugs with slices of fruit and a sprig of herbs, it becomes a true decoration for the table. It is the perfect choice for chilly evenings, gatherings with family and friends, and also an excellent, healthier alternative to traditional mulled wine that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.

Preparation steps

1

Start by preparing the flavoring ingredients. Wash the orange very thoroughly under hot water, using a vegetable brush to remove wax and impurities from the skin. Then, using a sharp knife, cut it into slices about 0.5 cm thick. Peel the ginger using a teaspoon (this is the easiest way) and cut it into thin slices.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Use a cutting board dedicated to fruits to avoid transferring smells, such as from garlic or onion. Thoroughly washing the oranges is crucial, as they will be heated in the drink along with the peel.
2

In a large pot with a thick bottom, pour in the entire liter of apple juice. Add the previously prepared slices of orange and ginger. Also, toss in all the dry spices: two cinnamon sticks, two star anise, and about 10 whole cloves. Finally, add two sprigs of fresh rosemary. Gently stir everything with a large spoon.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Orange, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Fresh ginger, Fresh rosemary
A pot with a thick bottom is important because it evenly distributes heat and prevents the juice, which contains natural sugars, from burning. Do not break the cinnamon sticks; they will release their aroma better whole and will be easier to remove later.
3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the drink for about 20 minutes until it becomes very hot and aromatic. It is crucial NOT TO BRING it to a boil. Boiling would destroy the delicate flavors of the spices and vitamins. The mulled wine is ready when an intense, spicy aroma fills the kitchen and steam rises from the surface of the drink.

Watch the drink. When the first small bubbles start to appear on the surface, immediately reduce the heat to the minimum to just maintain the temperature. You can cover the pot with a lid to keep the aromas from escaping.
4

Remove the pot from the heat. Taste the drink and decide if it needs additional sweetness. If so, this is the right time to add honey or maple syrup. Add one tablespoon at a time, stirring until completely dissolved and tasting after each addition until you reach your perfect level of sweetness.

Ingredients: Wildflower honey or maple syrup
If you are using honey, wait 2-3 minutes after removing the pot from the heat for the drink to cool slightly. Adding honey to very hot liquid (above 60°C) destroys its health-promoting enzymes.
5

Prepare mugs or glasses made of thick glass. Using a ladle and a small strainer, pour the hot drink into the containers. The strainer will help catch small pieces of spices, such as cloves. For decoration, place a fresh slice of orange, a thin slice of apple, and a small sprig of rosemary in each mug. You can also add one of the star anise from the pot. Serve immediately while it's hot.

Ingredients: Apple for decoration
It's best to use mugs with handles or latte glasses to comfortably hold the hot vessel. Decorating the drink not only enhances its appearance but also adds a fresh aroma just before drinking.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, spiced beverages dates back to ancient Rome, where wine was heated with spices to protect against the cold. In medieval Europe, these drinks, known as 'wassail', were an integral part of winter celebrations and rituals aimed at ensuring good harvests in the coming year.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mulled wine in transparent, heat-resistant glasses or mugs to showcase its beautiful amber color and the floating additions. For adults, you can add 25-30 ml of dark rum, brandy, or orange liqueur to each serving to enhance the flavor and warming effect.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover mulled wine, you can store it in the fridge in a closed jar or pitcher for up to 3 days. Before serving, strain out the spices. Reheat slowly over low heat, avoiding boiling to preserve its aroma.
