How to Store Apple Cider Mix
Spiced sugar mix: Store in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Make sure the container is tightly sealed to keep moisture out and prevent clumping.
Prepared cider: Best served immediately. If you have leftovers, refrigerate for up to 2 days and reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Tips for long-term freshness: Avoid using a wet spoon when scooping the mix, and shake or whisk it before using if it has settled.
