Chai Cider

recipe by Heather Land | photo by Kelly Moore Clark

Cold hands, warm heart. 

I absolutely love holding a warm mug in my chilled hands, especially when the weather calls for it. 

Light a fire – inside or outdoors. 

Gather your people. 

Sip and share. 

That is the spirit of Christmas.

INGREDIENTS

Serves {roughly} 4 small sipping mugs 

1 TBSP Chai blend 

2 cups apple cider (unspiced) 

1 cinnamon stick

A splash of fresh squeezed orange juice 

A few slices of fresh orange 

Spring of fresh rosemary 

Whiskey if your Merry

Add all ingredients in a small saucepan. 

Bring to a boil. Cut heat off and allow to steep covered for 5-10 minutes. Strain with mesh strainer. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary for your senses, or to stir a splash of whiskey or bourbon.
