Pro tips

  • Clove can be overpowering, so start with the tiniest pinch of clove when making this recipe and add more at the finish if needed.

  • If you prefer hot apple cider, heat on a stove top and throw in some cinnamon sticks. This will also make your entire house smell amazing!

  • Try adding your favorite sweetener, like honey or maple syrup.

  • Peel the oranges, and then grind & press due to the bitter flavor in the peel.
