Mulled Cider and My Beautiful Pitcher

Tonight is Guy Fawkes night here in the UK. 

All over the country, children will be wrapped up warmly, bonfires will be burning and excited faces will ooh and aah at the sky alight with fireworks.

As you can't all be with me, much though I'd love it, I thought I'd share one of my favourite traditions with you, so we can at least be together in spirit:

Mulled Cider. 

So scrumptious.

So easy.

This is not a recipe that's fixed in stone;

there are a million variations. 

But this is the way we like it.

2 litres of cider 

(or apple juice for the children)

2 oranges, thinly sliced

3 cups of orange juice

A handful of cloves

6 cinnamon sticks

6 all-spice berries

Tip all the ingredients into a large pan and simmer until hot.

Drink and be merry.

{Did someone say easy?}

  I'm serving it in my very handsome indeed tall ceramic pitcher.
  Isn't it beautiful?
  
  
  
  
  
  It's new and gorgeous and I think you can probably tell I am a tad excited about it.
  I found it in the Domestic Diva section on the Cox and Cox website. 
  
  
  {And if making mulled cider doesn't designate me a Domestic Diva, 
  then, frankly, I don't know what will..}
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Have a great evening, peeps.
