NATIONAL HOT MULLED CIDER DAY
On September 30, National Hot Mulled Cider Day warms our homes with the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple.
#HotMulledCiderDay
Fall welcomes toasty mugs of mulled cider to wrap our chilled hands around. Such a cozy way to spend an evening, sipping a tart, spiced beverage on a chilly evening while gazing at trees ablaze in crimson, gold, and orange. It is the perfect time to celebrate this holiday and enjoy this delightful drink.
Mulled cider is a traditional fall and winter drink made by heating cider to almost boiling and adding cinnamon, orange peel, nutmeg, cloves, and other spices and then simmering it. Just the scent of it steeping on the stove will warm the home and lift the spirits of everyone in it.
HOW TO OBSERVE HOT MULLED CIDER DAY
Make some hot mulled cider. Sip it while reading a good book or enjoying a great conversation with a friend. When we celebrate with a friend, it makes the day even better. Fill a thermos with some freshly made hot mulled cider and take it on a hike. It will warm you even on the crispest of autumn days.
And mark your calendar so you remember to join us again next year, too!

Israel rocks.
Suddenly, i’m in a good mood.
🙄😏...............................
I’ve been experimenting with mulled cider for a few years now. I have quite a few spices, lol.
Here are a few: crystallized ginger, juniper berries, whole allspice, whole cloves, whole cardamom, local honey, anise seed, ground nutmeg, ground mace, ground ginger, orange peel, ground allspice, cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.
I’ve had mulled wine in Germany on a frigidly cold day.
It works!..............
I may have to try that myself. In my younger days we would throw a bottle of wine into a snowbank for a bit, pure Nectar. I sometimes put cloves in my morning cofefe. One of the most interesting spices on my list was cardamom.
It was supposed to be 44 degrees here last night. I am not ready for that, lol.
The wine was very warm, and steaming, and the spices tasted like cinnamon and cloves.............Worked perfectly, because the temperature in Berlin was about at freezing 32°F/0°C that morning.....................
0 degress c... Imagine if you had a girlfriend that talked metric all the time, lol.
