Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 4 cups Apple cider
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 unit Cinnamon stick
- 4 units Cloves
- 2 slices Orange slices
- 1 cup Water
- 5 leaves Optional: Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and water. Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Use the back of a spoon to mash the raspberries as they soften. Continue simmering for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or pitcher to remove seeds. Discard the seeds and pulp.
Return the strained raspberry liquid to the saucepan and add the apple cider, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange slices.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves fully.
Reduce the heat to low and let the cider gently heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange slices from the saucepan.
Ladle the warm raspberry cider into mugs and garnish each with a fresh mint leaf if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
