Mulled Cider

We originally created this mulled cider recipe as a component to our Hard Cider Sangria. Frankly though, this cider is good on its own. Served hot or cold, non alcoholic or with a bump of some apple brandy or your favorite whiskey, this cider is sure to please. We urge you to use fresh spices for this. Toss away the fake cinnamon stick that has been hanging out in your cabinet for the last 10 years and a the minimum purchase fresh at the grocery store. Here at The Hedonistic Bar we are big fans of our local olive oil and spice vendor,The Olive Branch Oil and Spice Company. 

Mulled Cider
5 cups Pressed Apple Cider
4 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Star Anise
1 Teaspoon Cloves
1 Teaspoon Whole Allspice Berries
1 Bourbon Vanilla Bean

Combine all ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes or until fragrant. Enjoy cider warm as a great non-alcoholic drink, add you favorite bourbon for a great warm cocktail, or chill and use as an refreshing beverage or ingredient in other cocktails.
