Why Ginger-Cloved Apple Cider Is Like a Little Bit of Fall in a Glass

Despite what Instagram may have you believe, fall is not simply pumpkin spice season. For me, fall entails leisurely strolls among rustling leaves, snug sweaters, and—above all—the aroma of handmade apple cider simmering on the stove, which almost cries out, “It’s finally sweater weather!” Try adding clove and ginger to your apple cider to elevate it to a new level. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Why Are Ginger and Clove Unique?

The problem is that clove imparts a rich, warm, slightly sweet flavour, and ginger provides a sharp, spicy kick that arouses your taste senses. Why not combine them with some apples? Drinkable enchantment. Why are those two spices used in a plethora of autumn dishes? Simple reason: they are effective! Nope. They absolutely dominate.



## The Best Apple Cider Recipe Ever—Incorporating Ginger and Clove

Great, now let’s start working. After experimenting with a large number of variants, I’ve settled on this one as my favourite. It’s perfectly sweet, perfectly spiced, and completely customizable if you’re in the mood for something special.

#2 ➦ Substances needed

The following is a list of everything you’ll need (and sure, you can embellish it if you so desire):

**I promise you this:** eight cups of apple cider (the authentic stuff, not apple juice)
1 large apple, sliced (Fuji or Honeycrisp apples are as good)
* 2 sticks of cinnamon * 1 sliced orange (optional, but I enjoy the zing) * 2 inches of sliced fresh ginger * 6 whole cloves
* Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (to taste)
A pinch of nutmeg (for added coziness) and half a teaspoon of ground allspice (optional)
* A little lemon juice (optional, for a tangy twist) * A whole star anise (one for show, if you’re feeling fancy, but seriously, it looks awesome floating on top)

### ␦ Changing Up Ingredients and Personalizing

* No whole cloves left? To begin, use a tiny pinch of ground. Do you not have any fresh ginger on hand? Use only 1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger, but it will still work. Desire it with a little alcohol? Just so you know, after boiling, you can add a splash of rum or bourbon.

## The Story of My Apple Cider Obsession ##

Truth time: I used to believe that only Pinterest mothers with twelve hours to spare and matching plaid could pull off the effort of making “fancy” apple cider. No way. It was after a long, cold day that I first made this using clove and ginger, on a dare and a whim. I thought I’d stepped into a spice shop the moment I stepped foot in my apartment. After downing three cups and suffering a typical burn to the tongue, I now make it every fall on a weekly basis. Yes, it does create a great basis for hot toddies, and my family and friends are completely enamoured with it.

Don’t take me too seriously, but these ingredients aren’t only delicious; they’re also helping with something else:

Apple cider is an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Effectively combats seasonal influenza with a boost to the immune system.
* Ginger is the best remedy for colds, improves digestion, and reduces inflammation.
* Clove: Packed with antioxidants and thought to alleviate toothaches and headaches (though I wouldn’t recommend using cider as mouthwash, haha).
* Cinnamon: Gives off warm, fuzzy feelings while regulating blood sugar. I think science probably concurs. 😉

**In one place?** In addition to tasting great, this fall drink also improves your mood.
