Sugar Free Hot Apple Cider Recipe. Boil water with mulling spices and/or cinnamon stick. Pour spiced hot water over vinegar directly into your favorite mug. Add stevia to taste (and, optionally a dusting of cayenne pepper). Garnish with cinnamon stick if desired. Cozy up, enjoy, and rest easy knowing your healthy-eating efforts are still on track.
The only truly "essential" spices are whole cinnamon sticks. We used eight cinnamon sticks, but we love a lot of cinnamon flavor. Some of our favorite additions are fresh ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice and star anise. If you don't like or don't have any of the spices or aromatics for this low carb apple cider, don't worry.
A pressure cooker will only take about 30 - 40 minutes, but you will need to cut this low carb apple cider recipe into a much smaller portion size to safely get all of the ingredients in there. The slow cooker method will take about 8 hours for the apples to super tender and able to be mashed with a potato masher.
