Reviews
Excellent.A very good reason to buy more rough cider.I might be predjudiced because I am totally in love with Nigella.
I made this cider on Halloween.. Delicious, warm, comforting and extremely easy to prepare, it is the perfect drink for a chilly autumn night, curled up on the sofa with a scary book or horror film. Thanks, Nigella!
I made this for Christmas Eve WHAT A HIT!!!!! The family went nut’s, they have asked for it again on a Feb Birthday. I need to keep this recipe in a safe place. Thanks Nigella, your the best
According to the version of this recipe published on the BBC Web site (which matched in every other way, but unfortunately seems to be no longer available), the cider quantity should be:
1L (Metric) or
1pt 15 fl oz (British pints/fluid ounces).
1L (Metric) or
1pt 15 fl oz (British pints/fluid ounces).
I believe this translates to:
2pt 2fl oz (US pints/fluid ounces).
I.e. there should be at least double the 1 pint of cider stated here!
(P.S. I’m posting from the UK.)
This was amazing…the cider was tasty and warms you right up. Bonus: brewing it makes your home smell beautiful. I doubled the recipe, using 4 cups of cider and 1/2 cup spiced rum. I brewed two cups of tea – one ginger (Yogi Tea) and one apple cinnamon (Celestial Seasonings), since that is what I had in the cupboard – and added to the boiling mixture. Tip: press your whole cloves into quartered oranges so they stay put and still add all the necessary flavor! So simple, I will definitely make this again!
It was absolutely devine. It hit the spot on a cold evening outdoors roasting s’mores.
Very tastie…..
