Peanut Free Fresh Mint Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, fragrant, and layered with cozy spice, this spiced apple cider is the kind of drink that makes you want to wrap both hands around a mug and stay there. Unfiltered apple cider gets a slow, gentle infusion of Ceylon cinnamon, fresh ginger, turmeric, and cloves — then a handful of fresh mint goes in at the end to add a cool, herbal brightness that balances all that warmth beautifully. The whole thing comes together on the stovetop in under half an hour, no special equipment needed beyond a fine-mesh strainer. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination anxiety to worry about — just pure, wholesome sipping. A drizzle of honey at the finish lets you dial the sweetness exactly where you want it, and the optional apple slice and mint sprig garnish make it feel genuinely special without any extra effort. This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your cold-weather rotation.

- 4 cups fresh-pressed apple cider (unfiltered)
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 1 ceylon cinnamon stick
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric

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.
