Mulled Ginger Cider

Your first thought might be: "Heating a carbonated beverage?" Don't worry, the heat cooks off the carbonation.
The classic pairing of apple and ginger combined with the earthiness of turmeric is perfect with darker notes of cider. I added mulling spices for more wintery flavors but have fun and use whatever you like.
- 6 oz Ginger Orange
- 3 oz Apple or Pear Cider
- 1 ea clove
- 1 ea Cinnamon Stick or Star Anise
- Or 1 Tbs Mulling Spices
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
Heat and stir until hot and desired spice is reached. Garnish with Candied Ginger in a skewer or on the side.
Full-bodied and fragrant, this Mulled Ginger Cider non-alcoholic cocktail is ideal as a post-dinner indulgence or a warming refreshment after shoveling snow.
