Blazing Cider
A spiced cider blend that brings heat and warmth to your mug, your marinades, and anywhere else you want fall flavors with a little fire.
What It Is
Blazing Cider is a dry spice blend built around the classic mulled cider profile, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and warm spices, with a kick of heat layered in. It does the mixing for you, so you get a complex, layered flavor without pulling out five different jars.
Think of it as the shortcut between plain apple cider and something people ask you about. The heat creeps in after the sweet spices hit, which is what makes this blend interesting rather than just seasonal.
What To Do
Stir one to two teaspoons into a mug of hot apple cider and let it steep for a few minutes, then strain or just let the fine bits settle. It also works stirred into oatmeal, used as a dry rub on pork, or mixed into butter and spread on toast or sweet potatoes.
Start with less than you think you need. The heat builds. Store it in a cool, dry spot away from the stove and it will stay sharp for up to a year.
