Notes

Recipe tips.
  • Double-check the can of pumpkin to ensure it's not pumpkin pie filling, which already contains sugar and spices.
  • The cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg can be replaced with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice blend, which also includes cloves.
  • Even though it's served chilled, it needs to be gently simmered for the spices to infuse, but keep in mind that boiling can cause the spices to become bitter.
  • In the Harry Potter book, it's served chilled, but it also tastes delicious as a warm, flavorful cider.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days or freeze for 3-6 months.
