Hot spiced cider is a traditional beverage enjoyed especially during cold seasons and holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Originating in the United States, this drink combines the natural sweetness of apple cider with a blend of aromatic spices that evoke warmth and comfort. In different Latin American countries, this beverage may be known by similar names such as "hot spiced cider" or simply "spiced cider," although its popularity and preparation may vary depending on local customs and available ingredients.
The use of spices like cinnamon and cloves in hot beverages has roots in European traditions that later merged with typical American ingredients, such as apple cider. Thus, this drink has become a classic that celebrates the union of flavors and the cozy feeling of family gatherings and winter festivals.
