Bright with citrus and gently spiced, Apple–Orange Cider is a simple winter staple that feels both cozy and clean. Serve it steaming on snowy evenings, or chilled for crisp afternoons when the sunlight is sharp and the air smells like pine. It’s the kind of sip that makes a kitchen feel calm — a small ritual, poured slowly.

Notes ✨
Warm gently—never boil—to keep the flavor soft and the citrus bright.
Taste before sweetening; apples vary, and sometimes the oranges bring enough natural glow on their own.
For a deeper spice note, add cinnamon and a whisper of clove; for lighter brightness, lean into orange peel.
Serve hot in mugs for cozy evenings, or chill and pour over ice for a crisp winter refresher.

A bright winter pour — warm or chilled, simple and restorative.
