Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 1 cup apple brandy
- 1-2 sticks of cinnamon (or more if you’re feeling spicy!)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (because who doesn’t love a little extra sweetness?)
- 1 orange, sliced (for a zesty twist)
- Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a flavor explosion
- Whipped cream for topping (because we’re fancy like that!)
Instructions
- First things first! In a saucepan, heat the apple cider over medium heat. You want it hot but not boiling – we’re not making a geyser here!
- Add in the apple brandy, stirring gently like you’re a mystical potion maker mixing your way to happiness.
- Throw in those cinnamon sticks and the slices of orange. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This is the time for the flavors to mingle, like old friends at a reunion.
- For a touch of sweetness, stir in the brown sugar. Adjust to taste because everyone’s sweet tooth is a little different!
- If you’re adventurous, sprinkle in some nutmeg or cloves. Just a pinch will do – we’re not trying to overwhelm anyone here!
- Once everything is toasty and delightful, ladle it into your favorite mugs. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream, and don’t forget the cinnamon stick garnish for that added flair!
- Sip, savor, and share the warmth with friends, family, or keep it all to yourself (we won’t tell!).
There you have it! A delightful cup of joy that’ll make winter evenings feel magical. Enjoy your Hot Cinnamon Apple Brandy Cider, and may your days be merry and bright!
