Spiked with brandy, this spicy apple brew ignites the taste buds.
Ingredients:
  • 1 orange
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 500ml (2 cups) apple juice
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 6 cardamom pods, crushed
  • Pinch of ground allspice
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 750ml (3 cups) apple cider
  • 180ml brandy
  • 1 red apple, cored, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Pierce the orange with cloves for a burst of flavor. Combine it in a saucepan with apple juice, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then let it sit for 30 minutes to develop rich, spiced flavors. Strain into a jug, removing the spices.
  • Return the apple juice mixture to the pan and stir in the cider. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until it gently simmers. Divide the brandy and apple slices among heatproof serving glasses and pour the hot cider mixture over the top. Enjoy!
