Notes
- How to Store & Re-Heat
- How to Store & Re-Heat
- To store: Transfer any remaining cider to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, reheat the cider on the stovetop or in the microwave until it reaches your desired temperature. You can also reheat the cider with additional spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg to refresh the flavor.
- To reheat: Pour the desired amount of cider into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, occasionally stirring until heated. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave by placing it in a microwave-safe container and heating it in 30-second intervals until it's heated through, stirring after each interval. Just be careful not to overheat the cider, as it can cause the butter to separate. Once it's heated, ladle the cider into mugs, and enjoy!
