Sometimes you just need a warm drink. It's too late for caffeine; and you're all tea'd out. Cocoa is just too rich. Something soothing and comforting is all you want and a cup of hot apple cider answers that call. It's just soothing. It's thirst quenching, and it's caffeine free. On a cool morning, it's satisfying even for youngsters. If you've never tried it, then you'll be surprised how satisfying a cup of cider can be. Try it for a sore throat, or for a more festive occasion it goes well with a dollop of liqueur like Crown Royal Apple.
I really enjoy the apple cider in the morning, sometimes I have three cups. I sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for a treat. I like it better than coffee
