Ingredients

  • 4 cups apple cider / unfiltered apple juice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 star anise
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 4 trips orange peel
  • 4 fl oz brandy or apple brandy, rum, spiced rum

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all of the ingredients except the rum in a small pan and warm over a low heat. Gently bring to almost a simmer and warm for approx 30 minutes without boiling.
  2. Put 1 oz of brandy in the bottom of 4 glasses and top each up with the warm cider, straining off the spices and orange peel as you go. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Note - you can also prepare this in the slow cooker - instead of putting everything apart form the rum in a pot, place all in a slow cooker and warm on low for approximately 2 - 4 hours, as suits. Then serve as above, putting the brandy in the bottom of the glasses as you serve.
