I don’t like cranberries, but I tried making this for my family. It’s too tart for my taste, but they said it was great.
This cider is seriously delicious!! I added a bit of sugar and it was perfect for my holiday party. Everyone loved it!
I followed the instructions but mine didn’t taste right. Maybe I used too much clove. 🤔
I was skeptical at first, but this turned out delicious! Will make again.
Too much cloves for my taste. I felt like I was drinking potpourri.
Wow! So good! I added some ginger and it took it to another level! 🌟
Ginger? That sounds interesting! I might try that next time. 🥰
Made this for a party and it was gone in minutes! Everybody said it was good.
How do I strain the cider? Do I need a special tool?
This cider is absolutely amazing! Perfect for the holidays!
I think you should add sugar or honey because it’s kinda tart.
Nah, I like it tart. Adding sugar will just ruin it. Keep it natural, please!
I agree! A little sweetener would balance the tartness perfectly. Great suggestion!
This recipe made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Great for winter evenings!
Hmm, isn’t this basically just apple cider with a bit of cran? A bit underwhelming tbh.
I actually think the mix of cran and apple gives it a unique twist! Worth a try.
I’ve never cooked before (like NEVER) but this was easy. My kids loved it!
Hot cider is best with a splash of rum, just sayin’! 😏
so easy 2 make! kids loved it to! 🙂
Is there an alternate to the orange? I’m deathly allergic. Pls help!
You can use lemon slices instead of orange. It’s still citrusy and should work well!
Lemon? Is that even any good? I don’t think that’s a good sub for orange lol.
I don’t get why people make cider in pots, it takes too long. Just buy it ready-made! 🙄
This recipe is amazing! The cranberry juice and apple cider combo is perfect for the holidays! 🎉
