With all of the unhealthy juice drinks, filled with nothing resembling natural ingredients, it's no surprise apple cider too has lost it's way. This recipe, made with organic apple juice and raw spices takes us back to the traditional, authentic, and healthy comfort food: Hot Apple Cider.
Start with high quality organic apple juice. Use raw whole dried spices, not a packaged flavor mix. And don't boil it, just heat it. If you have a Crockpot, that's a handy way to keep it hot, but simmering on the stove works too.
INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS (for one to four quarts of apple juice)
- Organic apple juice
- Use more or less spice depending on quantity
- 4 - 10 whole cloves
- 2 - 6 green cardamom pods
- 1 /2 - 1 whole cinnamon stick
- Optional: 1 thin slice fresh ginger
- Heat the apple juice with the spices on the stove or in the Crockpot
- When using a Crockpot, start it a few hours ahead of time, or heat on the stove, then transfer to the Crockpot
