The Best spiced apple cider drink recipe

I love making spiced apple cider during the fall and winter months. It fills the house with such a warm and cozy smell and my kids always ask for it after they come in from playing outside. This recipe is simple to put together and uses basic ingredients like apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. It is a great drink for holiday parties or just a quiet evening at home. The spices like ginger and nutmeg also have anti-inflammatory properties which makes this a healthier choice than store bought cider mixes. My family loves that they can customize the sweetness and spice level to their taste.
