autumn is upon us; this is a recipe for a mulled cider that will bring you magick coziness, prosperity and warmth this season. you will need:
☾ 2 quarts of apple cider (honoring the departed)
☾ ½ cup brown sugar
☾ 1 tsp whole cloves (exorcism, love, protection)
☾ pinch of nutmeg (protection, prosperity)
☾ 3 cinnamon sticks (power, prosperity, passion)
☾ 6-7 whole cardamom pods (love)
☾ 1 orange slice (abundance, happiness)
combine everything in a pot and bring to boiling; cover with lid and simmer on low-medium heat for 20 minutes. stir clockwise now and then. strain out the herbs and enjoy warm on a rainy evening. if you’d like, light brown, black and/or red candles to make your cider drinking into a little ritual.
So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO: if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive. Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.
Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.
