Tree Nut Free Fresh Mint Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, fragrant, and layered with cozy spice, this spiced apple cider is the kind of drink that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Fresh mint steeped alongside Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cloves gives it a complexity that goes way beyond anything you'd pour from a store-bought packet. The unfiltered apple cider brings a natural sweetness and body that ties every flavor together beautifully. A touch of honey at the end lets you dial in exactly how sweet you want it, so it works for everyone at the table. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-checking or substitution stress — just simple, wholesome pantry staples doing their thing. Straining everything through a fine-mesh sieve leaves you with a silky, clear cider that looks as good as it tastes, especially with a thin apple slice and a sprig of fresh mint floating on top. Whether you're curling up on a cold evening or hosting a fall gathering, this is the mug you'll want in your hands.

4 servings
- 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
- 3 whole cloves

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.
