Hope you have enjoyed the beginning of December. We have got so much snow. I went Christmas shopping yesterday. Oh, the city looked amazing under a thick layer of snow with all the lights. This simple mulled apple cider warms up the night. I just love its invitingly cozy scent of the holidays.
Ingredients (serves 6-8)
- 2 liters (8 cups) apple cider
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 4 cloves
- a pinch of nutmeg
- juice of 2 clementines
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 3 tablespoon cane sugar
Pour cider into a pan. Add cinnamon stick, half vanilla pod, cloves and nutmeg. Squeeze in the juice of 2 clementines and shave a few slices of lemon zest in. Add sugar and mix. Heat until steaming but not boiling. Run the cider through a sieve and serve hot.
Una vera delizia quando è inverno profumato e buono, baci !

Delicious. I have made similar, but spiked it with a splash of Galliano.
