A perfect drink to spice up the holidays!

Nothing is more soothing than a hot cup of spiced orange cider on a cold winter’s night.

This was a product I used to buy from school sales, but could never find the product in stores. After years of testing this recipe, here’s what I consider the perfect drink.

Bring this mix to work, as it’s a sure-fire drink your co-workers will L-O-V-E.

It’s also a cute, easy, inexpensive holiday gift that’s fun for the kiddos (looks like sand art).

This recipe is so popular, it’s featured on All Recipe’s, a go-to site for any cook.

Here is my “Spiced Orange Cider Mix”
