Spiced Hot Toddy

This is just another option for offering hot drink options to your guests (tray-pass them for something extra special)…

β€’1/2 gallon (8 cups) apple cider
β€’1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 1 strip zest
β€’1/2 cup fresh orange juice, plus 1 strip zest
β€’3 cinnamon sticks
β€’4 whole cloves
β€’1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
β€’Bourbon, rye or whiskey (optional)
β€’Cinnamon candy sticks, for garnish (optional)

Combine the cider, citrus juices and zest, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a large pot. Simmer over medium heat, about 20 minutes; do not boil.

Ladle the cider into mugs, leaving the zest and spices in the pot, and add about 1/2 teaspoon butter to each mug. Spike the adults’ drinks with a shot of bourbon and garnish with cinnamon candy sticks, if desired.
