Peanut Free Spiced Apple Cider Hot Toddy
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this spiced apple cider hot toddy is the kind of drink that makes a cold evening feel like an occasion. Unfiltered apple cider forms the rich, cloudy base, while fresh ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper layer in a gentle heat that builds with every sip. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a drizzle of honey round everything out with brightness and just enough sweetness. The whole thing comes together in a single saucepan in under ten minutes, making it as effortless as it is impressive. Since every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just wholesome pantry staples doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Strain it into your favorite mugs, tuck in a cinnamon stick, and let the steam do its thing.
