Spiced Cider Tea Recipes for the Holidays

Spiced cider is a quintessential winter beverage. The tradition of mulling spices — typically some combination of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg and cardamom — dates back to the 2nd century when Roman traders began spicing and heating wine during their long travels. Mulled beverages became especially popular in Northern Europe, where the fragrant spices brought warmth and comfort during the harsh winters.
