Hot apple cider punch with Calvados
Pour this warming drink into mugs and enjoy after a walk in the cold winter air. One of many drinks to warm up in the chilly months.
Instructions
In a large saucepan, heat the apple cider, or apple juice, until hot but not yet boiling.
Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, apple slices and spice bag
Simmer for about 5-10 minutes. Then stir in the Calvados.
Remove the spice bag and cinnamon pieces before serving.
Notes
If you love the cinnamon flavor, add a second cinnamon stick.
Cider is low alcohol but you can easily make an alcohol free version substituting apple cider with apple juice.
Why not try a pear cider, or pear juice, spiced drink? Follow the recipe substituting apple ingredients with their pear equivalents.
