I thought my newfound interest in cooking would be short lived, but it has been going strong for a few weeks! Recently, I made spiced hot apple cider to celebrate the season. The recipe I used can be found on A Couple Cooks.

This recipe calls for apple juice, rum, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise (so pretty!). My batch of apple cider turned out a little too strong in the rum area, so I added more apple juice. With or without rum, it’s a holiday season staple.

I’m so excited to be adding food to the blog! My “recipe box” category will contain recipes that I have collected and/or tried from other sources. Here and there, you might find an original recipe.

Anyway! What’s your favorite way to prepare hot apple cider?
