Lupin Free Chamomile & Vanilla Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this spiced apple cider is the kind of drink that makes you want to curl up with a blanket and let the world slow down for a minute. Fresh-pressed unfiltered cider forms a naturally sweet, cloudy base, while Ceylon cinnamon, fresh ginger, and a whisper of turmeric layer in gentle heat and earthy warmth. Chamomile and vanilla powder bring a floral, almost dreamy softness that sets this apart from any standard mulled cider you've had before. A touch of honey and a bright squeeze of lemon juice round everything out so the flavors feel balanced rather than one-note. Every single ingredient here is straightforwardly whole and plant-based, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden legume flours or additives that can sneak into packaged spice blends and flavored drinks. The steeping and straining method keeps the texture silky and clean, delivering all that aromatic complexity without any grit or bitterness. It's an effortless recipe that tastes like it took far more effort than it did.

4 servings
- 4 cups fresh-pressed apple cider (unfiltered)
- 3 chamomile tea bags (or 3 tsp loose dried chamomile flowers)
- ½ tsp vanilla powder

Instructions
- 1
Combine the apple cider, Ceylon cinnamon sticks, sliced ginger, and ground turmeric in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the cider just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges, about 8–10 minutes — do not bring to a full boil.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the chamomile tea bags and vanilla powder, pressing the bags gently to submerge them. Steep for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags and cinnamon sticks.
