Oats Free Vegan Mulled Cider
Warm, aromatic, and deeply comforting, this mulled cider is the kind of drink that makes a cold evening feel like a celebration. Apple cider gets simmered low and slow with cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, star anise, and fresh orange rounds until every sip is layered with cozy, spiced flavor. A touch of maple syrup rounds out the sweetness naturally, and an optional splash of vanilla adds a subtle warmth that takes the whole thing up a notch. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from grains and oats, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out — just pour, simmer, and enjoy. It's also completely plant-based, making it a crowd-pleaser for just about any gathering. Serve it straight from the pot into mugs with a fresh cinnamon stick and an orange slice for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the effort required.
