Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your cider mix the best flavor. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use frozen or bottled orange juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Choose a good quality apple cider. Not all apple ciders are created equal. Look for a cider that is made with fresh apples and has a good flavor. You can also use apple juice, but it won't be as thick or flavorful as cider.
  • Add spices to taste. The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can add more or less of any spice, or you can substitute different spices altogether. Some other popular spices to add to apple cider include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  • Serve warm or cold. Spiced orange cider mix can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, heat it over low heat until it's just simmering. If you're serving it cold, simply chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Spiced orange cider mix is a delicious and easy-to-make drink that's perfect for fall and winter. It's also a great way to use up leftover oranges. So next time you have a few oranges on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
