With the temperatures dropping, it’s time to heat up with some warm drinks. A great option is spicing up your store-bought cider. Plus as a bonus, it will make your house smell amazing!
In a saucepan combine the apple cider, orange slices and cinnamon stick. Take a whole apple and insert a few whole cloves into the skin of the apple. Add to pot and heat on stovetop. Can be served as is or you can top off a serving with 2 oz. of your favorite whiskey or rum for adults. For a special serving touch, you can even hollow out apples and use them as cups.
