Apple Cider Slushies
Adapted Recipe by Emily Weaver
Notes
Double-check that your serving glasses are freezer-safe.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apple cider
Lemon and orange peels
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 cup maple syrup
Ice
Directions
- Make hot apple cider. In a large saucepan, pour in apple cider and maple syrup, and give it a light stir.
- Place cinnamon sticks and fruit peels in either a stovetop-safe strainer or cheesecloth, and set into the apple cider mixture. Keep over moderate heat for 5-10 minutes, or until cider is very hot. Once at desired temperature, remove from heat and set aside. Let the apple cider cool until room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Pour the cider into six serving glasses, only filling them up 3/4 of the way. Set aside one of the glasses for later, and put the remaining five into the freezer until semifrozen, about two hours.
- Using a spoon, dig at the frozen cider to turn it into shaved cider ice. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider from the saved glass that didn't go in the freezer, and give it a light stir. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon, and enjoy!
