Mulled Apple Cider.
A magical, soothing, cozy drink for winters and holidays. The medley of fall fruits and whole spices brings together this velvety smooth drink. This is my favourite drink while I cuddle up in a blanket and get cozy with a great read. Also, it makes a great addition to the Thanksgiving dinner table.
How to make this?
Take 3 red apples and chop them into cubes. Remove the seeds.
Use a zester tool to get 1 tsp orange zest from one navel orange. Chop 1 navel orange as well into quarters along with the peel.
Also extract 1/4 tsp lemon zest and cut half the lemon into quarters.
In a pressure cooker, add chopped apples, orange quarters, orange zest, lemon zest, lemon quarters, 10-12 dried cranberries, 1 whole stick of cassia cinnamon, 3-4 cloves, 1/8th tsp pink salt, 7-8 dates, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1.5 inches ginger cut into small pieces and 3 cups water.
Pressure cook it to upto 3 whistles on medium flame. Let the steam release naturally and put it to simmer for another 20 mins. Cover the pan while it simmers. I also added 1/4 tsp all spice powder at this stage.
Mash the ingredients using a potato masher. Taste and adjust the spices, tang or sweetness. Let it simmer for another 10 mins.
Strain the mix using a fine mesh. Tip in 2-3 star anise. Cover and let it come to room temperature. Put it into the refrigerator for 3-4 hours for the flavours to seep in together.
Warm it up a bit while serving.
Enjoy!!!
