A Secret Ingredient for Cider Perfection
This homemade spice blend mix uses organic apple powder. It's a nutrient-rich superfood that adds a burst of apple flavor to your cider spice blend.
This versatile powder is made from dried apples, offering a convenient way to enjoy the taste and health benefits of fresh fruit with a long shelf life.
While spices like cinnamon and cloves provide spicy flavor, apple powder boosts the apple flavor, making it taste more like fresh-pressed cider. It's also packed with vitamins and minerals, adding a healthy element to your drink.
- ✅ SO MUCH TASTE, SO DELICIOUS! Start the day with the mouthwatering taste of fresh apples. Freeze-dried apple powder is nutrient rich and full of taste. And the texture is so fluffy! And airy! – no lumps – it just melts in your mouth.
- ✅ UP TO 2X MORE VITAMINS! Unlike conventional hot-air drying that removes up to 50% of vitamins – raw freeze-drying preserves up to 98% of all nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, making your diet balanced and healthier.
- ✅ ADD IT TO ANYTHING: You can add this fine, delicious powder to smoothies and shakes, yogurts, detox cocktails, desserts, or use it in baking and more. Apple fiber promotes healthy digestion - just one teaspoon for 11% of Daily Fiber!

Apple Cider Recipe FAQ's

Apple cider is generally healthier than apple juice due to less processing, more antioxidants and nutrients. However, both have sugar and should be consumed in moderation. For maximum health benefits, eat a whole apple!
You can make delicious apple cider without adding sugar! Apples are naturally sweet, and spices enhance that flavor. Choose sweet apples, use apple powder, and adjust spices to your liking for a healthy, sugar-free cider.
Storage Instructions
Pantry: To keep your apple cider spice blend fresh and flavorful, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. This will help prevent moisture and light from degrading the spices and apple powder, ensuring its quality for months to come.
Freezer: Freezing your apple cider spice blend isn't recommended due to potential moisture problems and its long shelf life when stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature.
