This hot spiced cider will make a delicious accompaniment for any Bonfire Night parties you may be hosting this weekend. For a non-alcoholic version, use a good cloudy apple juice instead of cider, omit the sugar – and leave out the rum.
Serves: 8
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
What You’ll Need:
- 1.5 litres cider
- 1 orange, zest pared into strips
- 4 small cinnamon sticks, halved
- 4 cloves
- ΒΌ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 50ml rum
What To Do:
- Pour the cider into a large pan and add the other ingredients, except the rum. Heat gently on a low heat for 20 minutes; do not allow the mixture to boil as this will burn off the alcohol.
- Strain the warm cider into glasses and add the rum, if using. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a strip of orange zest from the pan.
