Cinnamon-Walnut Cider
Cinnamon-walnut cider is a special drink that can be enjoyed warm on cold winter days or as a refreshing cooler on summer evenings. The cinnamon and walnuts harmonize perfectly with the natural sweetness of the apple juice, while the vanilla and honey make the flavor even more velvety. Cider originally comes from Europe and has been made in many variations over the centuries. This version makes the classic recipe special, and you can make it even more exciting by adding a pinch of nutmeg or a little toasted walnuts.
