Hot spiced cider ..... something for the flask

[Are we there yet?]

I found this last night, and thought it would be a nice idea for the colder camping nights!

1 ltr good cider
thumb size piece of ginger
1 cinnamon stick
tiny bit of nutmeg
table spoon of dark muscovado sugar
thyme (optional)(part of your 5 a day?) 5 cloves and 200 mls of brandy

pour cider ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, thyme and cloves into a saucepan.. heat the cider until its hot (dont boil.. it takes the alcohol out of it) and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the brandy in. Pour into flask.. climb up a big mountain.. its advisable at this stage to set up camp before drinking the contents of flask.. drink and sleep well

I'll carry it all up if you cook it for me and I'll let you have a share

I really like the sound of this. Seems like the perfect nightcap when you're on a chilly mountain.
