Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 I love mulled apple cider *Smile* Chris (list mom) Jasmine Sambac Absolute Co-op http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~ Mulling Spice Mix http://busycooks.tqn.com/library/recipes/blmullspicemix.htm Use this to make mulled cider or wine. A small bag of mulling spices attached to a bottle of wine or jug of cider makes a nice holiday hostess gift. 3 boxes (1 ounce each) cinnamon sticks 6 whole nutmegs (1 ounce) 1/3 cup chopped dried orange peel 1/3 cup chopped dried lemon peel 1/4 cup whole allspice 1/4 cup whole cloves 2 tablespoons finely chopped, crystallized ginger (1 ounce) Put cinnamon sticks and nutmegs in a heavy plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or a small heavy skillet until broken in small pieces. Mix with remaining ingredients. Store in an airtight container. Yield: enough spices for 14 batches of mulled wine or cider. To mull wine: Stir 1/2 cup water and 1/3 cup sugar in a 1 1/2 to 2-quart pan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add a 750 ml bottle of wine (3 1/4 cups). Place three generous tablespoons of mulling spices in a tea ball or muslin or cheesecloth bag and add to pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and heat very gently until mixture is very hot but not boiling, about 20 minutes. Discard spices. To mull cider: Place 3 generous tablespoons of mulling spices in a tea ball or muslin or cheesecloth bag. Add to a half gallon (8 cups) apple cider in a 2 1/2 to 3-quart pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 to 35 minutes. Discard spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 How did you know Dennis and I were just sitting down to enjoy some mulled apple cider??? Fall hits earlier here in Idaho than it did in N.Calif.. I love fall with all it's beautiful colors, the chill in the air and hot mulled cider (a little cinnamon schnapps in the cider isn't bad either). We really lucked out with the new property, we have several wild apple trees here.
