Hot Raspberry Chocolate Cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
Liquid comfort defined. The tart apple cider base is elevated to festive heights by raspberry fruitiness and dark chocolate depth. Like drinking a hot fruit pie with chocolate sauce. Raspberry acidity balances the sugar and chocolate sweetness perfectly.
