4 cups of apple cider

Notes

Every recipe can be tweaked to match your taste! For a non-alcoholic version, swap the wine with more cider. I find it’s important to adjust the sweetness based on the cider you use. Adding a splash of lemon can balance things if it gets too sweet. 🍋

Experiment with seasonal fruits, too. Pears or pomegranate seeds add an exciting twist. Make sure to refrigerate any leftovers, though they’re unlikely to last long! 😊 Drop your tips in the comments to help out fellow drink enthusiasts!
