How to Make Microwave Hot Apple Cider

Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Melissa and on behalf of Expert Village today I'm going teach you a couple of different ways to make a perfect cup of hot apple cider. So in the first clip we talked about our ingredients so in this clip we're going to take all the ingredients we're going to put it together. Now we're talking about the perfect microwaveable hot cup of apple cider so first of all you need a cup that is microwaveable very important and of course it's going to vary on your cup size how much apple cider your going to want to pour into that cup. What I like to do is take the cup that your going to be drinking it in and pour in the apple cider so we've done that into our cup. But what I like to do is to actually put it in a corning ware dish a type of dish vs the cup itself so what I do is then is pour the apple cider into the cup that I'm going to drink it out of and then pour it into the corning dish that you see here. It just allows it more space to be able to infuse all of these different ingredients I just prefer better you can use it in a cup but I prefer it this way. So very import an we put in one cinnamon stick because again as we put in more if it was for more people but it's for one person so one cinnamon stick. We'll let that get around in there and then if it was for more people we would use more whole cloves becuase it's for one person again we're just going to use a couple of different couple of cloves. We only need about 2 cloves so we'll put in 3 for this one but normally 2 so some whole cloves and then that's basically it. We're going to mix that kind of that in there put the lid on here and I'm going to put this in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes depending on your microwave and we'll pop it out. Then the next step I'll teach you how to garnish it and how to make it look really great."
