Pecan Free Vegan Mulled Cider
Warm, fragrant, 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 tastes like the best version of autumn you've ever had. A splash of maple syrup adds a gentle, earthy sweetness that ties the whole thing together beautifully. The whole spices do all the heavy lifting here, so there's no need to worry about hidden additives or nut-based ingredients sneaking into your cup. Once you strain out the solids, you're left with a silky, jewel-toned drink that looks just as stunning as it tastes. Ladle it into mugs with a fresh cinnamon stick and an orange slice, and it's practically ready for a holiday table. It's the kind of recipe that fills your kitchen with an irresistible aroma and has everyone asking what's on the stove.
