Cider (hard or otherwise) is one of my favorite parts of fall. I picked up a cookbook from the game Skyrim that I thought looked interesting. I’m trying a spiced cider recipe out of it that has coriander and juniper berries. So far it does not smell like it’s going to be my favorite but it at least gave me a reason to look into the spices I’m using for it. I use juniper in my muscle salves for its anti-antispasmodic and inflammatory properties but in internally it also has some strong antioxidant properties as well as B & C vitamins. Coriander has some antioxidant, anti-anxiety and digestive properties. So even if it tastes terrible at least I can get some value out of it.
