Chai Spiced Apple Cider

Chai Spiced Apple Cider by SeasonWithSpice.com

I love the sweet aroma carried by the breeze on a warm October day at the orchard.  Row after row of apple trees with thousands of fresh apples ready to be picked, or ready to fall to the where the bees buzz happily among browning, fermenting apples, waiting for just one more red, juicy gift to land with a thud in the thick grass in the shade of the tree.

Closing my eyes, and taking a deep breath, I could feel a touch of cider and honey and spice on my tongue.  Thoughts of a hot cup of Chai Spiced Apple Cider to my lips.

Spice a cup of apple cider from your local apple orchard with the warming spices of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and ginger in our Chai Tea Blend.  Along with the soothing and smooth flavor of Ceylon black tea, this Chai Spiced Apple Cider will sweeten the aroma in your home as you simmer it on your stove, and then tingle your senses as you cuddle on the couch with your fingers wrapped around a cup, sipping it slowly between nibbles on a slice of freshly baked pecan pumpkin bread.
