The holiday season won’t be complete until you make a few cups of warm cider. Infused with cinnamon, orange peel, nutmeg, cloves, and spices, warm apple cider is indispensable on cold, winter evenings.

With so many variations of warm cider out there, choosing the best apple cider recipe can be tough. Leave it up to the organic sugar experts, Florida Crystals®, to help you choose the best tasting cider for you to enjoy this holiday season. Here are three great options that you can try out this holiday season.

• Taste the original flavor of sun-sweetened sugarcane using Florida Crystals Milled Cane Sugar to make Hot Spiced Cider

• If you prefer medium molasses flavor, use Florida Crystals Brownulated Sugar to make Hot Cider Punch

• For a velvety molasses flavor, use Florida Crystals Organic Brown Sugar to make Hot Mulled Cider

For an added effect, seeing as it’s the winter holidays, you may want to frost your mugs. To frost your mugs: Place lemon juice into a small bowl. Dip the rims of the mugs into the lemon juice then into a dish of Florida Crystals Sugar. Strain cider into mugs or heat safe glasses. Place cinnamon stick into each glass to garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
