It’s the perfect thing to serve and relax with on a long Friday night, after a delicious meal
Do you ever feel like you would like to add that finishing touch to a Shabbos meal, a way to extend the time spent with your family and maybe friends too, with ongoing conversation and ideally the perfect drink?
Well, here is just the thing.

It’s just three ingredients. And all you need to do is combine and simmer.

The reason why it works really well for me is because I prep it right before Shabbos and leave it on my “blech” or hot plate, and literally, forget about it. It would work well in a warming drawer or oven. Basically, whichever way you keep your soup warm will work well for this too.

When the meal is over, I like to put out some nuts, some pitzuchim (sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds) if I have them and then ladle out the tea into mugs.

Serve and enjoy!
Easy Homemade Apple Cider

Looks delicious!
What do you mean by “equal amounts of both” – both what? Both juices?
Yes
Such a great idea for a long winter friday night! thanks for posting!
the drink is called cider, did you mean to put apple cider or apple juice?
I love this idea, but can we get a healthier option?
Very rich taste but dangerously sweet.
I made it for my sons shalom zachor in a huge urn last year this time- was such a hit!
Absolutely delicious!! This will become our new Friday night “tea”. I just wish it wasn’t so unhealthy with all the sugars….
After heating up the juices I transfer it to a (pre-heated) thermos
