Eggless Spiced Apple Cider
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this spiced apple cider is the kind of drink that makes a cold afternoon feel like a celebration. Unfiltered apple cider gets a serious flavor upgrade from Ceylon cinnamon, fresh ginger, whole cloves, and a touch of ground turmeric — all simmered low and slow until every sip is rich and aromatic. A splash of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of maple syrup added at the end keep the flavors bright and perfectly balanced. The whole thing comes together in one saucepan with zero fuss, and straining it into mugs means you get a beautifully clear, silky drink with none of the chunky bits. It's naturally free from eggs and any animal-derived additives, so there's no label-reading required — just wholesome, real ingredients doing all the work. Dress it up with a cinnamon stick and a thin apple slice for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the effort involved.
