Warm Vanilla (spiked) Cider
Posted: September 25, 2009 Filed under: Beverages, Holiday Recipe 6 Comments »Mmmmm..I love apple cider. So good warm with some cinnamon. So when I saw this recipe in the latest Martha Stewart Living, I knew I would love it and I did. Warm, deep with flavor and a great fall feel.
ENJOY!
Ingredients:
6 cups fresh apple cider
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
2 whole nutmeg seeds
1 vanilla bean split and scraped
3/4 cup bourbon
whipped cream
Directions:
Combine apple cider, brown sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla bean (split and scraped) into a medium sauce pan. Gently simmer over medium -low heat for 15 mins. Remove from heat and discard solids. Add bourbon. Divide among 6 mugs and top with a bit of whipped cream. Serve warm.
This sounds great, we are going apple picking in the next few weekends and will get some fresh cider there.
Scrumptious beverage!
This sounds WONDERFUL. I love warm drinks like this – love the idea of adding vanilla bean. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting could not find it on the Martha stewart website! Had this last night at a party and it was Wonderful even without the bourbon!
