Spiced Apple Cider Tea Recipe

As soon as the hint of cooler air hits here in the south I'm ready to do happy dances on the rooftop. I love sitting down with a piping hot mug of apple cider or tea but it's not so appetizing when it's still in the 80s and 90s.

We're thankfully starting to have a cooler day now and then which has me so excited. Sometimes it's the little things.

Anyway, one day I was having a tough time deciding between tea or cider. Then I had the idea of combining the two.

Spiced Apple Cider Tea Recipe

I've had apple flavored teas and also spiced teas that I've enjoyed so why not? I have to say it was quite the success!

It's a little bit sweet, it's a little bit spicy and it's a whole lot of comforting deliciousness to warm up with.

You can see the warm color change from the first photo of just cider to the others where it's been combined with tea and spices. Yum!

Being from the south I do like my tea sweet. I also prefer to use an unsweetened fresh apple cider.

So, I needed to add a bit of sweetener to this spiced apple cider tea. But, I've also been limiting how much extra sugar and calories I drink.

I've been trying various options but some have an aftertaste I don't care for. The latest one I've tried is Organic Stevia In The Raw® and is the one I've enjoyed most by far.

One packet has been enough for me to sweeten a mug of tea (and this cider tea). This is nice because each packet is only 3 calories and sweetens about the same as 2 teaspoons of sugar. Two teaspoons of sugar is 32 calories. And I honestly used closer to a tablespoon of sugar in the past.

I also like that it's USDA organic certified without breaking the bank. You can get a box of 40 packets for around $3.19 and even purchase it online here.

Organic Stevia In The Raw is also Non-GMO Project verified, vegan certified, and naturally gluten-free.
