There's nothing nicer than the warming energy of a hot drink unwinding through your body to stave off a bitingly cold Winter's day or combat a blustering and nippy Autumn. Hot apple cider has been a traditional way of bolstering the body against the chillier seasons for ages and we can see why. It works like a dream! With the sweetness of the apples, the intriguing festive spices and the hearty cider kick, each mug is sure to introduce a little sunshine into those otherwise gloomy months. The only way to make it better? Cannabis, of course! And our recipe here is assured to bring a healthy glow into your cheeks.
