Instructions

Add apple cider, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice, and maple syrup to a small saucepan.
Warm on low flame for about 5 minutes until it releases a lovely spiced aroma — avoid boiling.

Shake all ingredients over ice and strain into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Add a thin orange slice or cinnamon stick for aroma and visual warmth.
Comforting, aromatic, and lightly tangy — perfect for cozy evenings or Thanksgiving feasts.
Optional tip: Add a splash of sparkling water to make a “Sparkling Spiced Cider” version for a festive twist.
