During the long winter, my family and I drink a lot of hot drinks. For me, mainly tea. The problem with winter drinks is they are either high sugar and or high caffeine. Tea, coffee or hot chocolate. You can get hot apple cider but it is usually a dry commercial mix full of sugar, preservatives and fake flavours made of man made chemicals. I am lucky enough to have three apple trees that I juice in the fall and can it for winter. My grandkids love my homemade apple cider and my daughter is happy that it is made without adding any sugar.
Years ago, I ran across a Nordic recipe for a non alcoholic Glogg or as it is known in England, Wassail. It is so versatile and easy and makes a wonderful change for tea or hot chocolate. It is immune boosting due to the ginger, spices and high vitamin C. I make it up and either put it on warm on the crock pot or lowest heat on the stove. The scent alone is amazing and the longer it sits, the better it tastes. Any left overs can be put into the fridge and either rewarmed or add ginger ale for a refreshing punch the next day.
