Michigan is home to over 100 cider mills. Some mills like Historic Dexter Cider Mill near Ann Arbor, Mich., have pressed Gala, Honeycrisp and Red Delicious apples into cider for over 120 years. The Emergency Kit Cook-Off pays tribute to the annual traditions of picking and pressing apples into delicious cider (perhaps enjoyed with a cider doughnut) with a non-alcoholic version of the Hotty Toddy, which we've named a Michigan Hot "Notty." This recipe was created in collaboration with Do 1 Thing (www.do1thing.com) in honor of April's goal of creating an emergency food supplies kit that meets the needs of your household for three (3) days without outside help.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 cups Michigan apple cider
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Lemon and Ginger tea bag
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3-5 whole cloves
- Dry red chili flakes to taste
- Ground cinnamon sugar
Directions:
- Combine the apple cider, water, tea bag, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and red chili flakes in a saucepan. Heat the liquid over medium heat.
- Add ground cinnamon sugar to plate. Moisten the rim of a glass with water and place the glass upside down in the cinnamon sugar.
- Pour the hot cider through a strainer into the rimmed glass.
