FAVORITE WINTER RECIPES 
Winter is a season for comfort foods and drinks, and adding oils is a great way to increase health benefits at the same time...for all recipes. Simply heat all ingredients, except the oils, in a pot over the stove, until just hot. Don't boil. Remove from heat, add the oils and stir to combine. Serve in your favorite mugs and top as desired. Easy peasy!

Spiced Cinnamon Cider

  • 4 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
