Few things are better than warm apple cider. I think we can all agree on that.

My version has just 5 ingredients and tastes great on its own or spiked. It comes together in about 15 minutes and smells amazing. So, what are you waiting for?

5 Ingredient Spiced Apple Cider

Serves 2

Ingredients:*
2 c. apple cider
2 cinnamon sticks, halved
A 2 inch strip of orange peel
1 turn of freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Combine all ingredients over medium low heat until warm. Let steep for about 15 minutes.

*To your warmed cider, you can add a little something extra if you like. I tried it with both calvados and bourbon together and another with just whiskey. Both were really great.
