Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 liter Apple Cider preferably a "cloudy" apple cider
  • 2 - 3 Pears I used Anjou Pears, thinly sliced - about 1/8" thick
  • 1 Lemon zest and juice
  • 6 Cardamom pods
  • 1 - 1 inch piece Ginger root peeled
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar or to taste
  • Cinnamon Sticks to garnish
  • Sliced Lemons to garnish
  • 1 cup Rum optional

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, add the Apple Juice, sliced Pears, 2 Cinnamon sticks, Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon and the squeezed Lemon, Cardamom pods, peeled Ginger root (left whole), and Sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes. You can leave the spices if you'd like or remove them before serving. I like to leave them in until the end and top up with more pears and apple juice if needed. 
  3. To serve, add a slice of pear, a cinnamon stick, sliced lemon, and rum if desired - 2 parts Mulled Pear Cider to 1 part Rum.
  4. Cheers!
