Notes

If you love the cinnamon flavor, add a second cinnamon stick.

Cider is low alcohol but you can easily make an alcohol free version substituting apple cider with apple juice.

Why not try a pear cider, or pear juice, spiced drink? Follow the recipe substituting apple ingredients with their pear equivalents.
