A 'spiked' version of the traditional hot cider - great for fall or holiday gatherings. This can be made in large quantities and kept warm in an electric coffee server. Ingredients:
1 quart water |
3 orange spice tea bags |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
2 cups apple cider |
1 1/2 cups light rum |
8 cinnamon sticks |
3 teaspoons butter |
Directions:
1. Pour water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and toss in the orange spice tea bags. Cover and let steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and stir in sugar, apple cider, rum, and 2 of the cinnamon sticks. Heat just to steaming -- do not boil.
2. Ladle hot cider into 6 mugs and drop 1/2 teaspoon butter into each. Garnish with a cinnamon swizzle stick.
