Directions in Plain Text

A pot of gently simmered cider captures seasonal flavours with little hands-on work. You warm apple cider with citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and a touch of honey until aromatic. After removing the pot from heat, you whisk MaquiOrganic powder into a small portion of warm liquid, then blend it back into the pot to create a smooth, vibrant finish. The mixture rests briefly so the flavours settle before serving.
You gain a warm beverage filled with colour and comfort, perfect for slow moments or gatherings. A simple process brings depth, balance, and natural brightness.

Recipe Notes

Cinnamon, citrus, and cloves support the cider’s warming aroma and help create a naturally balanced cup. A gentle whisk at the end prevents clumping and keeps the colour even. You can adjust sweetness or spice strength based on your preferences.
A scoop of MaquiOrganic 100% maqui berry powder adds vibrant colour and a rich berry tone.
