Campfire Ginger Apple Cider

Campfire Ginger Apple Cider is a delightful and cozy beverage that combines the flavors of apple cider with the warmth of ginger, perfect for enjoying around a campfire or on a chilly evening. Here’s a simple recipe for making Campfire Ginger Apple Cider:

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon of apple cider
• 1/4 cup fresh ginger, peeled and sliced (adjust to taste)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4-5 whole cloves
• 1 orange, sliced
• Optional: 1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup for sweetness (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, combine the apple cider, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and orange slices.
2. If you like your cider on the sweeter side, add brown sugar or maple syrup to the pot. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.
3. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can affect the flavor.
4. Once the cider is simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it steep for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
5. Remove the pot from the heat and strain out the ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick, and orange slices. You can use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for this.
6. Serve the Campfire Ginger Apple Cider warm in mugs. Optionally, you can garnish each serving with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange.
7. Enjoy your delicious Campfire Ginger Apple Cider by the fireside or wherever you like to cozy up!

Feel free to customize the recipe based on your preferences. You can also add a splash of rum or bourbon for an adult version if you like. Experiment with the ingredients to find the perfect balance of flavors for your taste buds.
