Holiday Mulling Spice Cider

Nothing says ’tis the season like a mug of hot cider with all the right spices.  Milford Spice Company’s Holiday Mulling Spice makes the aroma of this hot cider give you all the feels!

INGREDIENTS

1½ quarts unfiltered sweet cider
12 allspice berries
12 whole cloves
2 sticks cinnamon, broken into pieces
Milford Spice Company’s Mulling Spice
6 tablespoons bourbon (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  • Place all the cider and Milford Spice Company’s Mulling Spice (not the bourbon if you’re using it) in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture is just below a boil. Cover, remove from the heat and let steep for 5 minutes.

  • At that point, you will notice that the MSC Mulling Spice has floated to the top; remove and discard it using a sieve.  Alternatively, you can use a loose tea holder to seep the spices in the cider.

  • Pour a tablespoon of bourbon, if desired, into each of six mugs and pour the cider mixture over it.

  • Spoon a few cinnamon pieces into each mug, and serve immediately.
