Do you and your families exchange a lot of gifts at Christmas? Because we don’t really. We stick to small things amongst the adults and all the attention goes to the kids.
My sister in law gave me an adorable candle holder and a jar full of an amazing apple cider spice mix last year. I loved it so much I hardly dared to use any of it because I was scared I’d run out of it too fast. But of course it eventually happened and I had to recreate it in my kitchen.
This spice mix makes for such a great gift that I thought I’d share it with you, along with a nice printable you can use for giving away this spice mix!

I’ve made this today as Christmas presents how many teaspoon ?do I put on label for putting in with Apple juice
Nora Rusev
Nicky, did you see the printable label in the post? It’s 1 tablespoon per quart (or liter if you’re in a country with the metric system). Hope that helps!
Maria
Hi, would love to make this and also print your labels, but we don’t use quarts, I saw somewhere you wrote it’s a liter? Do you have labels I can edit, so it’s in liters, or would you be able to edit them so I can print those? It’s such a cute gift!
Nora Rusev
Hi Maria, I couldn’t find my original files anymore (I first shared the printable back in 2014!), but I edited the download as well as I could and added the liter in place of the quart. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmwupc2gqicimh5/Hot-Apple-Cider-Cinnamon-Spice-Mix-Printable-Metric.pdf?dl=0 Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else 🙂
Maria
That’s awesome! Thank you so much
Nora Rusev
Of course! Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season.
Alison
Hi, your recipe says 1 tablespoon per quart. Is this Quarter of a litre of juice? Thank you
Nora Rusev
Hi Alison, no it’s one US quart. That’s about 1 liter. Hope that helps!
Gina
Love this idea! How many jars does the recipe make? (And what size jars did you use?)
Nora Rusev
Gina, it makes four 8-oz jars OR 8 4-oz jars. I did 8-oz jars in the photos, but for small gifts I’d probably do the 4-oz ones 🙂
Crystal
It doesn’tsay how much to use this would be helpful.
Nora Rusev
I start with 1 tablespoon per quart, and then adjust from there depending on how sweet I want it 🙂
