Peppermint Cider

Preparing the Cider Base In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider, fresh mint leaves, cinnamon stick, honey, and sugar.

Simmering the Mixture Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let simmer for 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Adding Flavors Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.

Straining the Mixture Strain the mixture to remove the mint leaves and cinnamon stick.

Serving and Garnishing Pour the peppermint cider into mugs and garnish with whipped cream, crushed candy canes, and fresh mint leaves.
