Spiced Apple Cider

Spiced Apple Cider

Apple cider is a favorite beverage for many, and it's not hard to understand why. With the sweet, familiar flavor of apples and delicious, warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, apple cider brings comfort in a cup.

Apple cider is a great digestive aid and is very soothing to the digestive tract sipped before or after a meal. The added spices are also great for strengthening the immune system and fighting off any colds or flus that may be going around.
