Hot Mulled Cider Recipe with spices

If there’s one thing I can tell you, it’s that this Hot Mulled Cider recipe with spices is completely seasonal and very appropriate.

I don’t know where you are this winter but at home we have a series of colds (classic), tonsillitis and here we are now with the flu!

Hey, we’ve never done that before! There needs to be a first…

So, you will understand that this weekend I just want to sit on the couch with a stack of French pancakes, a bottle of maple syrup and a few cups of this delicious and comforting beverage that is hot cider, all while watching a few series on Netflix.

Inside I slip spices similar to Christmas ones: cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, a little ginger and sometimes, a cap of rum to have the effect of a grog. In short, this is a weekend that promises to be cocooning…

In my recipe, you will see that I didn’t use too many spices, it’s because at home our tastes are a little different. Personally, I would add a little more for it to be really comforting! 😉

For decoration, I also put a slice of dried orange in my cup, I find it so pretty and it also lightly flavors the cider, it’s great but optional!
