Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Apple cider
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Brown sugar
- optional for garnish Whipped cream
- 1 optional for garnish Apple slice
- optional for garnish Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, cinnamon stick, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla extract, and brown sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the cider is warm. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Stir occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the mixture into heatproof glasses or mugs to remove the cinnamon stick (optional).
Top with a dollop of whipped cream, an apple slice, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
