Spice cider recipe

[Blackbrew]

With all the good juice touching down next week does anyone have a spiced Christmas type recipe for cider?

As Frankie Boyle says about the Englishman who walked into a bar in Glasgow and asked for Lager and Lime
We don't do cocktails 

Spiced cider when this stuff is fermented and matured in March may not be your first drink of choice. I have to confess I never did one but some quick reading on the net shows making a spiced tea and adding subsequently is good as otherwise its difficult to gauge cinnamon quantities and they can totally dominate apple flavour, better to add a little at a time?

Was thinking about something where you heat up existing off the shelf cider and add some spice's kinda like a mulled wine something to drink whilst out in the cold making real cider!

I'd have said the same, mull it when you are going to drink it, it's hard to spice pre-fermentation, very easy to overdo it, best to do it on a small batch or per glass basis rather than the whole shebang at once.
