Brazil Nut Free Fresh Mint Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, fragrant, and layered with cozy spice, this simmered cider is the kind of drink that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Unfiltered apple cider gets gently infused with Ceylon cinnamon, fresh ginger, turmeric, and cloves — then finished with a handful of fresh mint that turns the whole thing floral and bright. The slow, low-heat approach keeps the apple flavor front and center while letting every spice bloom without turning bitter. A touch of honey stirred in at the end lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination worry to stress over — just simple, whole-food goodness in a mug. Garnished with a thin apple slice and a sprig of fresh mint, it's as pretty as it is comforting, and honestly impressive enough to serve to guests.

- 1 ceylon cinnamon stick
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions
- 1
Combine the apple cider, Ceylon cinnamon stick, sliced ginger, ground turmeric, and whole cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm, stirring once or twice, 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 fresh mint leaves, and stir to submerge them. Simmer gently for 8 minutes, until the cider is fragrant and the mint has turned a deep, slightly wilted green.
