Tips:
- Use a variety of oranges. Navel, Valencia, and cara cara oranges all have their own unique flavor profiles that can add depth to your cider.
- Grate the zest of the oranges before juicing them. This will release the essential oils and give your cider a more intense orange flavor.
- Use fresh apple cider if possible. Fresh cider has a brighter, more flavorful taste than store-bought cider.
- Add spices to taste. Cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are all classic holiday spices that pair well with orange and apple cider.
- Serve your cider warm or cold. Buttered orange cider is delicious either way.
