APPLE CIDER MULLS
You can use these cider mulls for a festive and aromatic drink. When
packaged in a pretty bag, they make a delightful gift.
1 medium orange
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 sticks cinnamon
Whole cloves
Apple cider or juice
Cut the orange in half and scoop out the pulp. Place a crumpled ball of
aluminum foil in each orange half to help maintain their shape. Place them
on a baking sheet and dry in a 200-degree oven for 4 to 5 hours, leaving the
door slightly open. Remove the foil and allow the orange halves to dry in
the oven for 15 minutes more.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg. Mix well.
Pack half of the mixture into each orange section. Decorate the tops with a
whole cinnamon stick and cloves, pushing them down into the brown sugar
mixture. To serve: put one mull into 3 cups of cider and simmer over low
heat for 20 minutes. Serve hot. To give as a gift, wrap each half in plastic
wrap and attach directions.
Makes two mulls, or enough for about 6 (1-cup) servings.
