Spiced apple cider with maple syrup
A warm treat for festive evenings
Fragrant and comforting. The sweet and velvety notes of maple syrup blend with the aroma of apples and the scent of winter spices: the result is a drink that tastes of home, of dim lights, and of people gathered around a table.
It's prepared in fifteen minutes, in a single saucepan, and served hot.

Five steps
In a casserole dish
Pour in the apple cider, add the maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and brandy.

Garnish
A slice of apple, a star anise and a cinnamon stick per cup.
Serves

Two things to know
Don’t boil it. A gentle simmer is enough: just give the spices time to infuse the liquid with their aroma.
Alcohol-free. Remove the brandy and the recipe remains intact: apples, spices, and maple syrup. This way, anyone can drink it.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Amber, rich flavor: it can be tasted alongside the spices without overpowering them.
