Notes
Storage :
- Store: Make ahead and refrigerate (without garnishes) in a sealed container for up to 5 days
- Reheat: Warm gently on the stove or in the microwave—avoid boiling
- Freeze: Not recommended due to alcohol and flavor changes
- Use taller cinnamon sticks so they sit above the drink and double as stirrers
- Microwave, stovetop, or tea kettle all work for heating the cider—use whatever’s easiest
- Make your own cinnamon sugar and save the extra in a zip-top bag for next time
- Add a splash of bourbon or spiced rum for a stronger drink
- Serve chilled over ice for a cold version
