Welcome to Litsy!

#25Alive!

It‘s hard to pick one favorite winter drink. Even though it doesn‘t get truly cold here, I love tea, coffee & hot cocoa. But I think hot cider/hot mulled cider really says winter to me & so I‘ll choose it as my #FvWinterDrink for today‘s prompt.

Pictured are a couple of versions I‘ve made, the top on using hard cider so I tagged this book I read a few years ago about the hard cider industry. 🍎💚🍏

@maggie4483 created this fabulous graphic to go with our #GroupE for the next round of #LMPBC !! We're hoping to read books about food - I've tagged one of the books from my list that I'm considering, but I was surprised to see that I have several options on my TBR 😂 We would love to have you join us, so check out @suvata's profile for the link to the signup!!

Really enjoyed this! I love dry hard ciders and appreciated learning more about the culture surrounding craft cider making that I knew almost nothing about. And the writing was great. (Funny side note: I thought this would be a total escape from thinking about certain intolerable political figures...it was actually not that, because certain intolerable political figures were included in the author's story in an interesting way!)

#FallFinds

Apples always say autumn to me with their beautiful #FallColors I got this book on cider last fall. It‘s an interesting look at cider‘s history & resurgence.

I'm learning all about craft cider, domestic cideries, apples, and more. I'm not quite done with the book, but I'm now on the hunt to find good cider in the States. I've yet to find a US cider I like as well as the ones I've had in the UK in Europe, but I'm still searching.
