Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional (for topping) whipped cream
- optional (for topping) caramel drizzle
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider, caramel sauce, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to dissolve the caramel and distribute the spices evenly.
Allow the mixture to heat gently, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam but does not boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Continue to heat for another 2-3 minutes, while stirring, until the cream is fully combined and the cider is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the hot apple cider into mugs.
If desired, top each mug with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cozy warmth!
