a coffee a day is a must for us betties, but sometimes we cherish that something different on extra cold mornings. homemade apple cider is not only a tasty treat that is super simple to make, but it will make your house smell divine. d-i-v-i-n-e. although it takes five hours of time to prepare (you can substitute a crock pot for a regular stockpot if you prefer), mostly all of that time is hands off, so sit back and enjoy the aroma!
