Tree Nut 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 the whole kitchen smells absolutely incredible. A touch of maple syrup adds gentle sweetness that feels completely at home alongside all those cozy spices. Every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based and free from tree nuts, so there's no label-checking or substitution stress — just straightforward, wholesome goodness in a mug. The optional splash of vanilla at the end rounds out the flavor in the best possible way. Strain it into mugs, tuck in a cinnamon stick for garnish, and you've got a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
