Smoked Caramel Apple Pear Cider Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Smoked Caramel Apple Pear Cider blend
4 cups apple cider
Caramel sauce for drizzling
Mahogany wood chips
Cocktail smoker
Instructions:
Brew the Tea: In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of apple cider to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of Smoked Caramel Apple Pear Cider blend and let it steep for 5-7 minutes. This blend will impart a deliciously complex flavor to the cider, with hints of caramelized apple and warm spices.
Prepare for Smoking: Set up your cocktail smoker with mahogany wood chips. Light the wood chips according to your smoker’s instructions. As the wood chips begin to smolder and produce a steady stream of smoke, you’re ready to add that smoky layer to your cider.
Smoke the Cider: Pour the brewed cider into a heatproof glass or container. Position the smoker’s nozzle over the cider and let the mahogany smoke infuse the liquid. Cover the container to trap the smoke and allow it to permeate the cider for about 2 minutes. The result will be a deep, rich smokiness that enhances the cider’s natural sweetness.
Drizzle & Serve: Pour the smoked cider into mugs and generously drizzle with caramel sauce. The caramel adds a touch of sweetness and luxury that perfectly complements the smoky.
