mulled cider

Post by swheatbeer » Wed Nov 09, 2011 2:39 pm

i was thinking about making something warming for the Christmas family get together. I am sick of mulled wine so thought I would try some amateur mulled cider.

Simply nipping over to Morrisons buying 10l of apple juice a bit of dark sugar some oranges and a packed of mulling spice (pre-made teabag type thing)

not sure whether I should boil the sugar and orange rind and add the spices then turn off heat and when cooled add to apple juice and sprinkle over with yeast.

I see some places say add spices to secondary like dry hopping. Any reciepes of thoughts anyone?

Mulled Cider is great, we drink it every year (my grandmothers German, they all do it where shes from), I don't really like mulled wine in comparison. Though we always just brew/buy straight cider, then mull it, it would certainly be simpler for you, unless that is if your wanting like a spiced cider to drink cold..
A new discovery for me is the mead i made a year ago, tastes unbelievable hot with a couple of spices, its all I can do to save a few bottles to share with the family this christmas!
