This hot cider was wonderful on a cold winter evening! The taste of orange juice stood out, so I increased the apple cider and allowed my cinnamon sticks to steep awhile in it ~ Doing so balanced out the flavor nicely. Thanks Paula! -
This made a wonderful warm drink for my DH's mother 94th birthday party. Made for Aus swap. -
All the tastes of Autumn in a glass! So very good. Enjoyed the OJ in this. But I think it's the brown sugar that brings everything together for a true taste treat. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Paula. Made for Comfort Cafe Snow Queen Chalet Jan 2010. -
I drank this in the late evening and it was very enjoyable! Just the right amount of orange juice. I did scale the recipe down quite a bit. Thank you Paula! Made for Zaar Stars! -
This was lovely Paula. A very satisfying drink. Citrusy and subtly spiced it warms the body, heart and soul. I let the cinnamon steep in the fruit juices (personal preference only). This drink was perfectly balance, sweet, tart, spicy, I loved it. Thanks so much for sharing.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
