Warm cider punch

Making an appearance on bar menus up and down the country, mulled cider – or warm cider punch – is definitely the drink of the festive season this year. Make it in exactly the same way as you would mulled wine, by combining cider, sugar and your spices in a pan and heating gently for about 15 minutes. Cinnamon and star anise work wonderfully with cider, along with a bit of citrus zest to cut through the sweetness.
