Golden Hour Cider

Golden Hour Cider

Inspired by the ever-comforting Swedish glögg, and swapping the wine for sweet pear juice and spicy fresh ginger, this warm, aromatic mocktail is perfect for cozy nights or your next fall gathering. As it simmers, your kitchen fills with notes of cinnamon, citrus, and gingered pear — and it’s easy to adjust the spices to your liking.

Spiced Apple Cider

  • 50ml of BLNCD Levitate THC Spirit
  • 8 1⁄2 cups (2 liters) pear juice
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 sliced lemon
  • 1 (4-inch piece) piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1⁄2 tea spoon cardamom
  • 3 star anise (save some for garnish)

Method

In a large pot, warm the pear juice and brown sugar over medium heat. Once the sugar dissolves, reduce to low heat and add the remaining ingredients. Let it gently simmer for about 30 minutes to infuse the flavors

To serve:

Ladle into a mug, garnish with a star anise.

Elevate your coziness with a serving of BLNCD Levitate — its light citrus lift pairs beautifully with the warm spice.
