Hot Cider (non-alcoholic)
Ingredients:
(1 or 2) Oranges
A few whole cloves
Apple cider
Cinnamon Sticks
Method:
1. Stud the oranges with cloves. (Push the pointy end into them until the flower part is flush with the peel.) Use about 10 per orange.
2. Put the cider into a large saucepan, and add the oranges and some
cinnamon sticks (one or two will do). Heat for hours (you can just leave
it on all day for a party). It gets better with age. Just pour in more cider
when it starts getting low.
You can make an alcoholic version of the above recipe by substituting
apple cider for some red wine. This is a great addition to any Yule
festivities to warm guests up as they arrive from the winter cold outside.
The smell of the cloves and cinnamon will waft through the house for hours.
I remember my mum making mulled wine most winters, and as a child I loved
the smell that was throughout the house most weekends.
