Description

Here is a recipe for a non-alcoholic, warming drink that is the essence of autumn and winter evenings. Hot pear cider is a combination of the natural sweetness of pear juice with bold, spicy notes of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. The addition of fresh rosemary introduces a surprising, woody aroma that beautifully balances the whole. The drink has a beautiful amber color and fills the home with the scent of holidays and coziness. It is the perfect alternative to traditional mulled wine, suitable for all family members, including children. Served hot in clear mugs or thick glass cups, garnished with a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary, it becomes not only a delicious treat but also a true table decoration. It is perfect for gatherings with friends, family celebrations, or simply as a way to relax after a long, chilly day.

Preparation steps

1

Start by preparing the aromatic ingredients. Take the ginger root; you don't need to peel it if the skin is thin – just wash it thoroughly under running water. Cut the ginger into thin slices about 2-3 millimeters thick. The thinner the slices, the more flavor they will release into the drink. Also prepare the remaining spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise, so they are ready to use.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise
Use a sharp knife and a stable cutting board. If you prefer a milder ginger flavor, you can peel it with a teaspoon – its edge fits perfectly to the irregular shape of the root.
2

In a large pot, place the sliced ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Then pour in the pear juice. Set the pot on a medium heat burner and slowly heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients: Sok gruszkowy 100%, Fresh ginger, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise
The best choice is a pot with a thick bottom and a capacity of at least 2 liters. A thick bottom prevents the juice from burning and ensures even heat distribution. Do not set the burner to high power right away to avoid a rapid boil.
3

Bring the drink to the point where small air bubbles begin to appear on the surface (just before boiling). Immediately reduce the heat to the minimum, so that the liquid just gently 'flickers'. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. During this time, the spices will release their essential oils, and the whole house will be filled with a wonderful aroma.

Ingredients: Sok gruszkowy 100%, Fresh ginger, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise
This is a key moment – do not let the drink boil! Cooking over too high heat can make the flavor bitter, and the juice will lose its clarity. Gentle heating is the secret to a deep, balanced flavor.
4

After 15-20 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Now it's time to add sweetness and a herbal touch. Add honey and mix well until completely dissolved. Then, toss in sprigs of fresh rosemary into the hot drink. Cover the pot and let it sit for another 5 minutes to allow the rosemary to steep and release its aroma.

Ingredients: wildflower honey, Fresh rosemary
Add the honey at the end, after removing from the heat, to preserve its valuable health properties that are lost at high temperatures. If you are using maple syrup, add it at this stage as well. Do not boil the drink with rosemary, as it may become bitter.
5

Prepare heat-resistant cups or glasses. Using a ladle and a fine mesh strainer, pour the hot drink into the containers. The strainer will catch pieces of ginger and small spices, leaving a clear liquid. If you like, you can garnish each serving with a fresh slice of orange or pear and a sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately while hot.

Ingredients: Orange, Pear, Fresh rosemary
Straining through a sieve is important for aesthetics and drinking comfort. For decoration, you can also place one of the cooked cinnamon sticks in each cup. If you are preparing the drink for guests, you can stick a few cloves into a slice of orange for an additional visual effect.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, spiced beverages dates back to ancient Rome, where heated wine with spices was consumed to protect against the cold and illness. In medieval Europe, such drinks, known as 'hypocras', were a symbol of wealth and hospitality due to the high cost of exotic spices.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the drink in clear thick glass mugs or Irish coffee cups to showcase its beautiful amber color. You can add a fresh cinnamon stick as a stirrer to each serving. To enhance the experience, you can gently char a sprig of rosemary before serving to release more essential oils.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover drink, you can store it in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar or bottle for up to 3 days. Before serving, strain out the spices and gently heat it over low heat, being careful not to bring it to a boil. It can also be enjoyed cold as a refreshing, spiced beverage.
