Hot Buttered Cider

Prep Time:  5 Minutes

     Cook Time:  10 Minutes

     Serves:  4

This is a sweet, non-alcoholic riff on hot buttered rum. Using local cider and a rich, salted butter makes it all the more delicious. (And no one’s telling if you add some rum.)

Ingredients

  • 4 cups apple or pear cider
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp. whole cloves
  • 6 cardamom pods
  • 1 tsp. whole peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 4 tsp. salted butter

Directions

  1. Pour cider into medium pot. Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom, peppercorns and brown sugar.
  2. Warm gently over low heat until hot. Pour through a strainer into four mugs.
  3. Serve with a generous teaspoon of salted butter on top.
