Mountain Cider Company Spiced Apple Cider Concentrate — 16 fl oz (16 servings), natural mulling spices, no added sugar

Mountain Cider Company Spiced Apple Cider Concentrate is a ready-to-mix, natural apple cider concentrate blended with traditional mulling spices to make sixteen warming cups from one 16 fl oz bottle.

Made by a family-run cider maker with over 30 years’ experience, this concentrate captures the flavor of freshly pressed apples reduced into a shelf-stable syrup and combined with a classic spice mix. It arrives ready to dilute — simply add hot water — or use as a flavoring ingredient in baking, glazes, marinades, and more. The recipe contains only apple cider and natural spices, with no added sugar, no preservatives, and it’s gluten-free.

How do I prepare a cup of hot cider quickly?

Preparing hot cider is fast and adjustable: measure, mix, and enjoy. The suggested ratio makes a balanced cup but you can tweak concentration and temperature to taste.

• Suggested mix: 1 fl oz concentrate to 7 fl oz hot water for one serving.
• Stir into hot water until evenly combined; reheat briefly if needed.
• Adjust strength by adding more concentrate for a bolder apple and spice flavor.
• Garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice for a finished look.
