This adaptogenic Apple Cider Spritz is the perfect fall Mushroom Mocktail™!
I was so excited to play with fall flavors and thought a nice apple cider drink with warm cinnamon and cloves would do the trick. So I headed off to the store to find some local, organic apple cider, and all they had was non-organic, loaded with sugar and preservatives.. that wouldn't do for me.
So if you are luckier than I was today and found apple cider that meets your standards, this recipe will be super easy!
Just a mix of:
Sparkling water
Apple Cider
Supershroom Soda - Cream soda (vanilla)
& Ice!
You could get creative with some fun rims, or garnishes with cinnamon sticks, apple slices etc.
BUT, If you are wanting to go all out like me and have a fresh, no sugar added, organic apple cider, read on!
For a full batch, you'll need:
-10-12 apples (medium sized, not tiny ones)
- 6 cups of water
- 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- Whole cloves
- Ground nutmeg
- A little slice of fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
1. I used an instant pot, mixed everything in and put it on pressure cook for 15 mins, and let it out naturally for 15 mins. You can also use a large pot but it will simmer for 2-2.5 hours. (Your house will smell amazing though!)
2. Once cooked, mash the apples with a potato masher and the strain into a large bowl. Once the mixture cooled, I strained it even more through some cheese cloth or alternative. And that's it!
MAKING THE MOCKTAIL:
Add your apple cider to half the glass.
Add Ice, and top with sparkling water.
Add 2 droppers of Supershroom Soda™- Cream soda Flavor
and ENJOY!
