Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for your cider. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use store-bought orange juice. However, fresh oranges will give you a more vibrant flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can use any spices that you like. Some other good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
