Tips:

  • Choose the right cider: Use a high-quality, unfiltered apple cider for the best flavor. Freshly pressed cider is ideal, but store-bought cider will also work well.
  • Add your favorite spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blend. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the cider to a simmer over low heat. Do not boil the cider, as this will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor.
  • Garnish with orange twists: Orange twists add a beautiful touch of color and flavor to the cider. Be sure to use organic oranges, as the peel will be in the drink.
