    Anyone have one that they've tried? Looking for something with a hint of apple-pie-ness to it but not too much cinnamon.

    Nice one. Where did you get those mulled spice bags? Are they predominantly a cinnamon flavour? (that's mostly what I'm after tbh).

    You can get little cartons of mulled spices at this time of year in most supermarkets and off-licenses

    Hahaha. :D Yes, but after pay day. I'm wearing a lovely sporting injury at the moment which has resulted in limited mobility until probably the weekend too, though I may finally get around to bottling my elderflower champagne if it isn't destroyed from being in primary this long.

    So I found some of those mulled spice bags in the supermarket yesterday. Didn't get them tbh because there was no cinnamon listed in the ingredients list. Think I'll dig around a bit more on the internet.

    Could you not buy some cinnamon sticks and just crush them up? Or buy a tub of ground cinnamon? Widely available in the bakery section of supermarkets.

    Ground cinnamon is supposed to be the devils work for cider. I did quite a bit of searching on lunch break and found this which urges a cinnamon / taste / cinnamon type approach. Seems sensible. Will probably add some whole nutmeg too.

    I tried this one a while ago fairly strong kick off it not overly strong cinamon flavour either tho. Its down as a holiday cider.
