As fall colors fade and the last Thanksgiving leftovers vanish, we turn our focus toward the celebration of Christmas. Twinkling lights appear in shop windows, holiday activities fill our calendars, and families come together for gift giving and memory making. Amidst all the busyness of the season, one of our favorite holiday treats is delightfully simple to prepare.
Bethany’s cider recipe will have your whole home smelling like Christmas in no time! Simple yet scrumptious, this classic drink appeals to all your senses. Its comforting warmth is the perfect antidote to winter’s chill, and bright slices of aromatic oranges make this cider a treat to look at, as well. Provide guests a stick of cinnamon for stirring, and you’ll have holiday luxury in a mug!
This week, we hope our recipe inspires you to pull away from the holiday bustle long enough to wrap your hands around a steaming mug of cider and savor all the goodness of this season!
