Hot Apple Cider

When it boils down to treating your loved ones on auspicious occasions like the Christmas or the New Year's eve, there's nothing like resorting to health drinks. Loved by all for their amazing taste and real creamy looks, health beverages are an instant hit worldwide. Globalization has increased the popularity of various energy drinks even more by means of attractive bottling and packaging. Since maintaining a healthy eating habit is the order of the day for many professionals as well as aged persons these days, popular beverage manufacturers have cashed in with a plethora of offerings at relatively pocket-friendly expenses. Now while you have the option of buying energy drinks, fruit drinks and milk-based drinks at any given moment, you may also like to prepare some of them by yourself. Preparing a juicy glass of hot apple cider might interest you in this regard.

Apple cider has long been a popular fruit beverage especially in the northern parts of the United States of America and Canada. A scrumptious glass of hot apple cider is typically darker and thicker than the traditional version of apple juice. Hot apple cider retains the lemony flavor of the original apple pulp.

While cider beverages are perfect for late autumn, hot apple cider is ideally suited for festive seasons, such as the Halloween and Thanksgiving. As far as the ingredients are concerned, the modern trend has shifted towards nonalcoholic beverage. This category is traditionally prepared from those apples which are harvested early during the season. With a lesser amount of sugar, it assumes a more tangy taste and sullen look.

Nothing rivals a jug of hot apple cider on a lazy wintry morning. The recipe is fascinating as it involves fresh apple cider and maple syrup. The ingredients include:

1/4 cup pure maple syrup
6 cups of apple cider
6 whole allspice berries
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
1 lemon peel, cut into strips
1 orange peel, cut into strips
