Dieter N Vercáriâ | > cheers! me will test it, although to catch a real cider in our ends of world is difficult :)
Over here cider is kind of running out of the water taps, as cider is traditionally the most popular alcoholic beverage in south Hesse.
What Eric is describing is a number of interesting varitations of what is called hot cider (Heißer Äpfelwein) in the pubs in Frankfurt.
On a side note, recently the EU tried to ban the traditional product name Äpfelwein (apple wine = cider), because it might confuse consumers as wine is supposed to be something made of grapes. You should have heard the uproar of angry Hessians for miles. The EU law proposal was quickly withdrawn.
Now to the embarrassing confession that I don't drink cider, neither hot nor cold nor watered down with sparkling water, lemonade or coke... which probably shows that I did not grow up in south Hesse.
