Servings: 8 large glasses
Ingredients
- 2 litres dry cider - (hard cider)
- 2 oranges – cut into quarters
- 100 g white sugar
- 4 allspice berries
- 2 half a cinnamon stick
- ½ star anise pod
- 250 ml brandy
To Serve:
- Orange and apple slices, cinammon sticks
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and put them in the pan.
- Cover with a lid and heat gently, bringing the cider to a simmer.
- Cook for half an hour.
- Serve in heat-proof glasses with slices of orange & apple and a piece of cinnamon stick.
Notes
- Get a mid range supermarket own label cider for making this, not the most expensive, but also avoid the cheapest.
- To cook in the multicooker, set to 80°C and leave for an hour.
- To make in the slow cooker, cook on high until simmering and then set to warm.
- You can make the punch in advance – just bring it up to a simmer and then allow it to cool. Then reheat to serve.
- Try other spirits instead of brandy – for instance, calvados or amaretto.
- For a non-alcoholic mulled apple punch, use a good sharp apple juice instead of cider and leave out the brandy and all or most of the sugar, depending on the sweetness of the juice. Add a cup of tea or hibiscus tea if you like.
