Instructions

In the heart of a brisk New Hampshire winter, the White Mountain Wonder encapsulates the essence of the Granite State. This cozy mocktail, inspired by the region's famous apple orchards and rich maple syrup production, is a warm and comforting beverage perfect for sipping by the fire after a day of frolicking in the snow. Served in a heat-resistant mug to keep the warmth in your hands, it's the embodiment of New England's cold-weather charm. Ingredients: - 6 oz hot apple cider (freshly pressed, if available) - 1 oz dark maple syrup (grade A, for robust flavor) - 1 cinnamon stick - 1 star anise - 2 cloves - 1 slice of fresh orange - A small pinch of ground nutmeg - A small pinch of ground ginger - Whipped cream (optional for garnish) - A sprinkle of cinnamon powder (optional for garnish) Instructions: 1. In a small saucepan, heat the apple cider over medium heat. Do not allow it to boil to preserve the fresh apple flavors. 2. Stir in the maple syrup until it is fully dissolved into the cider. 3. Add the cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, and the slice of fresh orange to the saucepan. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse their flavors into the cider. 4. While the mixture is simmering, prepare your heat-resistant mug by warming it with some hot water. 5. Empty the mug and strain the spiced cider mixture into the warmed mug, leaving the whole spices behind. 6. Stir in the pinch of ground nutmeg and ginger to the cider mixture. 7. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder for an extra touch of indulgence. 8. Serve immediately, garnished with an extra cinnamon stick for stirring and additional aroma. Sip the White Mountain Wonder slowly and let each warming sip transport you to the serenity of snow-capped peaks and the heartiness of New Hampshire's winter bounty.
