Mimi's Hot Apple
The simplest warming Winter drink and a great alternative for adults too as a non-alcoholic alternative to mulled wine. On a cold Winters Day this simple spiced apple drink warms everyone up after a chilly walk, or playground visit. We have also taken it out with us in a thermos, which also works well.
