Sweet Tea Sparkling Apple Cider

  PrintAuthor: Jeanine DonofrioServes: serves 8Ingredients

• 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.
