The mulled apple cider went down an absolute treat with everyone! 🎄 I used Con’s Irish Cider (alcoholic—only realised I was meant to use non-alcoholic after spotting the small print on the recipe a bit too late! 😂). Instead of bringing it to the boil, I kept it at a low simmer and added maple syrup to taste—probably about 1/2 cup for 6 servings. Thanks for such a lovely recipe!
I was looking through the comments to see if this was answered. Do you store in the fridge overnight? How long can you keep it out? How many days does it keep? It’s so good! 😊
Looks amazing! Do you eat the fresh cranberries in this or repurpose them?
This was a hit at my house party so much so that I made a second batch again in few hours 😀
For me personally, the drink was very sweet. I added hot water in my cup to lessen the sweetness. I wonder if similar taste can be achieved by using fresh apples instead of apple juice.
Are the cranberries supposed to disintegrate into the cider? The liquid became red and more like a cranberry-apple cider.
Made this for a Lord of the Rings watch party! The whole apartment smelled divine. It was a hit with everyone-- super tasty and cozy. (side note: double the servings, because everyone will go back for more!)
I put the spices on a tea bag for easy serving. Smelled amazing and all my friends really like it!
Love, love , love this in winter time. A beautiful drink to serve and my kitchen smells diliciuos
Made this for Christmas Day and it went down very well. Great feedback from all, tho as the chef on the day, I didn’t actually get to try it!!
Really good! Love that there is no added sugar. I didn't have ginger and added a vanilla bean. Super cozy drink!
This turned out amazing! I could not get cardamom pods but it was still so delicious! Highly recommend giving this a try and making double, you will want more!
Made this for a book club and it was a huge hit. So delicious, beautiful, easy, and helps my house smell great. Don't hesitate. Make this! Easiest new holiday tradition unlocked.
I've made this recipe every holiday season since 2019, multiple times per season, for parties and special events. Everyone always really likes it. It's simple yet has sophisticated and accessible flavors. If apple cider wasn't so sweet, I'd have it every single day. If anyone is scrolling the comments to make sure this recipe is good, this is your sign! It's a great recipe. I'm so grateful that I found this recipe on a Pick Up Limes video about holiday drinks.
I’m sitting in bed with the flu right now. I knew I needed to stay hydrated but didn’t feel like drinking tons of water or making hot tea/coffee. Cold juice would not have helped my throat either. And so I made this! Super, super easy, all the warming spices are great for my throat and it’s so tasty!! Do you think you could put together a compilation of your recipes for a sick day? Stuff like this that’s warm, comforting, and super easy to prepare!
I made this last year for my birthday and I loved it so much that I made it this year as well. I remember one of my friends' first reaction to tasting it was that it was such a comforting drink and that as soon as she stepped into the apartment the smell of the drink overwhelmed her like a warm hug! I still remember it like it was yesterday!
The smells in the house, mmmmm
Thanks sadia. Lovely picks!
one of my holiday favourites! i now get requests from loved ones every winter season for this delightful drink <3
I made this a few times over Christmas and everyone absolutely loved it! The flavours are so punchy and warming, I’ll definitely be making this a winter/Christmas tradition 🫶🏻
This recipe tastes amazing! I made this during November and December multiple times. My sister and I loved it!
hello! Can i add a bit of alcohol? Can you give me a suggestion for the kind and portion of alcohol? thank you!
I make this every autumn/winter since you posted it and I absolutely adore this recipe! So cozy!
Hello !
Once the Mulled spiced Apple cider is make. Can I freeze the liquid?
I'm short on time and would like to make it ahead so i can just defrost it when needed.
Thanks :)
Hi! I just tried this recipe and it smells heavenly! I am not a sweet tooth person and this drink is too sweet for me, is there any way I can enjoy this by making it less sweet?
I love this drink🥰🥰🥰
It smells like christmas at home.
I absolutely LOVE this one! I make it regularly in the winter :)
Made this yesterday for my birthday party and all my friends loved it. Such a wonderful smell to greet guests as they arrive!
this is amazing!!! we love this drink and are so excited fall is coming!
I love your recipes !
And this one is crazy good.
I use it for hot wine all winter long ;)
Besos from Paris.
I think you should mention here that it works perfectly for hot red French wine :)$
This is the perfect winter drink that warms the soul. I finished all of it while it was warm.
hii i just tried this recipe for the first time yesterday and i loved it - yuuum so tasty and cozy! i adapted the ingredients to what i had access to and to and that worked really well! so i used apple/cranberry juice, ginger juice, and the spices in their ground form! so if for anyone who is unsure if that works - it does! 💖
Made the warm version of this for a cosy drink after a walk. It was the perfect comforting drink. Love the idea of adding orange and cranberries for a festive twist too.
This recipe looks very nice. I would like to try it this fall.
But I am in France and I do not have access to fresh cranberry . Can I replace them with something else?
Thank you for all this recipes. I really love the Chai Hot Chocolate! It's so good !!
This has become a regular after dinner drink in our house now! My mom got addicted to this and she requests it almost every other day 😂
love love love... makes your house smell so yummy and is such a cozy drink 🤎
I like making this in a crock pot for family events! It tastes and smells sooooo good, it's insane.
I serve this to my family after apple picking, hiking, or other outdoor excursions on cold fall days and to my guests around Thanksgiving. It’s always a win!
This is drink has a similar taste as a Swedish drink called Glögg. How many times did I not make it, this drink is perfect for both autumn and winter!
I make this on Thanksgiving every year!! It’s a tradition in my home now!! We absolutely love it!!
My favourite hot drink! Just heaven in a mug really!
So delicious! I put a little too much cinnamon in (or maybe the 4 sticks were just very large...) so had to water it down with some more apple juice but still tasted amazing and was such a comforting drink. Also made the apartment small fantastic.
Soo yummy!
