Hot Cider

I spent the last weekend with some Rover friends in Bozen. It's a perfect place for a pre-Xmas trip. One of the things I did not know was that the South Tyrol is the biggest apple-growing region of Europe. About 10% of all apples produced in the European Union are from this area.

We were welcomed by South Tyrolean rovers with a new drink (at least for me): Hot Cider.

Use unfermented cider and cook it like mulled wine (just make a bit less use of spices) - that is, bring to a boil with some pinches of cinnamon, cloves and a bit of lemon juice.
