Mulled Pomegranate Apple Cider Recipes

Steps:

• Boil the cider to 175 degrees F.
• Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise and orange zest. Remove from the heat and add the maple syrup. Stir.
• Strain the cider into mugs. Garnish with orange wedges studded with cloves.

Steps:

• Pour the apple cider into a large pot and set over medium-high heat. Dice up the apples and toss them into the cider. Peel the rind off the orange in large pieces and toss that in too. Add the cranberries, allspice berries and cinnamon sticks. Add the sugar and stir it around to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Add the brandy, then simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, over medium heat, add the cider, cinnamon sticks, fresh ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Stir to blend. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Reduce by half and taste for seasoning. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl add the apples, lemon juice and sugar. Toss to coat and add to the cider. Refrigerate. When ready to serve the cocktails, pour the cider and apple pieces into champagne flutes (about halfway) and top with the Cava. Stir and serve.

Steps:

• Put the pomegranate juice and cider in a large non-reactive pot along with the dried fruits, orange zest, and spices. Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 30 minutes. Take care not to let the mixture boil. Serve in clear mugs or glasses with spices and dried fruit, and add a splash of your favorite liquor.

Steps:

• Pour the pomegranate juice into a large saucepan. Add the rosemary, sumac, cinnamon stick, coriander seeds, and orange. Bring to a simmer then pour through a sieve into a jug. Stir in the orange blossom water and pour into heatproof glasses or cups.
