Spiced Apple Cider

This Spiced Apple Cider is the perfect drink to serve throughout the holiday season.

The Flavours of Fall

Looking for something a bit different to enjoy this holiday season I started playing with my spices looking to create a nice aromatic apple cider.

Using the flavors of fall is a favorite. I can never get enough of the warm spicy hints of cinnamon and cloves. A naturally great compliment to the apple. A few crushed allspice berries were added to round out the flavor.

You can make this in a large pot on the stove or in a slow cooker.
