How to Make Apple Cider Spice Mix

The first thing you do is infuse the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons tangerine zest for at least 12 hours.

Place the brown sugar in an air-tight bowl or container add the tangerine zest, cover and let it sit for about 12 hours. I usually do overnight.

I do this for our Holiday Spice Flat White too, it makes a huge difference.

In a medium-size bowl mix the tangerine sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, mace, and nutmeg.

Whisk to combine.

Store in air-tight containers.

Heat the apple cider until hot, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the apple cider spice mix. Stir to dissolve.

Homemade apple cider spice mix in a jar makes a wonderful gift basket!

Just add a bottle of apple cider or a bottle of red wine such as Syrah or Malbec.

A couple of fun winter mugs, some cinnamon sticks tied together with a fun ribbon. Mix it up!
