Sweet Tea Sparkling Apple Cider
Serves: serves 8
Ingredients
- 32 oz. apple cider or apple juice
- 18 oz. sweet or unsweet black iced tea (such as Pure Leaf)
- 5 cinnamon sticks
- 5 star anise
- 2 small apples, diced
- 1 bottle of sparkling wine*
Instructions
- Fill a large pitcher with the apple cider, sweet tea, cinnamon, star anise and apples. Stir and chill for 2 hours. Pour into champagne flutes, filling each ½ full. Top off with sparkling wine.
Notes
*I recommend choosing a sparkling wine that's more dry than fruity since this cocktail is pretty sweet already.
For a more mulled flavor, you can simmer the spices with the apple juice and the tea. Chill, and continue the recipe.
