Chef's Notes

Adjust the seasoning by adding more or less cinnamon and dates. Try adding a slice of fresh ginger, or a pinch of nutmeg and cloves to the blend to create a more flavorful hot cider. If you have a large group, you can easily double this recipe in the 64 oz. containers. Whole-food health involves utilizing the whole fruit/vegetable, including fibers, for maximum benefits.
