This spiced and hot rum buttered cider toddy is a wonderful drink throughout the cold winter months, and is perfect during the Festive Holiday Season as well. I use Scrumpy or local French Breton cloudy cider for this, which I believe is called Hard Cider in North America. Serve the hot rum buttered cider toddy in attractive warmed glasses and float a cinnamon stick on the top for that extra touch! Ingredients:
1 orange |
8 cloves |
750 ml organic strong cider |
50 ml dark rum |
2 cinnamon sticks |
25 g butter |
extra cinnamon stick (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Stud the orange with the cloves.
2. Gently melt the butter in a large saucepan before adding the cider; continue to heat the cider and butter for about 5 minutes, then add the clove-studded orange and the cinnamon sticks; heat gently for a further 5 minutes - do NOT allow it to come to the boil.
3. Add the rum and heat for a further minute or two, again do not allow the toddy to come to the boil.
4. Serve in warmed punch glasses or mugs, add a cinnamon stick to each glass if you wish.
5. You can add more cider, rum and butter to the pan with the spiced fruit, throughout the evening.
