Spiced tea cider in a mug, garnished with a cinnamon stick and orange slice

Spiced Tea Cider

Cider, that is, fermented apple drink, has a long history and is especially popular in the colder months. The tradition of making warm cider originates from England and the United States, where spiced apple drink is a favorite during the autumn and winter. This clove-tea version is a special twist on the classic hot cider, as black tea adds depth and extra aroma to the drink. Cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest together create a truly festive flavor that is perfect for cold evenings. If you want to achieve an even richer taste, you can add a little vanilla or a little ginger. This drink is not only warming, but also extremely soothing, making it a perfect choice after a long day or for a gathering with friends!
