Today has been an especially cold day or I am feeling it. I am recovering from cold and I am not hungry but thirsty, thirsty and very thirsty. And it being so cold I don't want to drink anything cold. I started searching for Apple Cider or Cyder which is usually had during the cold months.
I have never had hot Cider before and had no idea hot it is supposed to taste. But after looking at the recipes I thought I is a good cure for cold, with all the spices and everything.
And since I did not have any apple cider I used store bought apple juice and substituted orange for Tang. I guess the traditional cider makers will be very upset with me. But hey! whatever works. And now I am sitting all nice and warm from the hot cider
