CREAMY APPLE CIDER FLOAT

Had my first hot apple cider float at a fall festival here in western New York. Warm, creamy, and frothy. The mulling spices make it taste like you're drinking a hot cup of apple pie. Once you try it you can't put it down. Vanilla or pumpkin ice cream work best.

Tips:

Choose a high-quality apple cider. The better the cider, the better the float will be. Look for a cider that is unfiltered and unpasteurized, as these will have the most flavor.
Make sure the cider is cold. This will help to create a refreshing float.
Use a good quality vanilla ice cream. Again, the better the ice cream, the better the float will be. Look for a vanilla ice cream that is rich and creamy.
Add some spices to the cider. This is optional, but it can add a nice flavor to the float. Some good spices to try include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Garnish the float with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. This will add a festive touch and make the float even more delicious.

Apple cider floats are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet and simple dessert, give apple cider floats a try. You won't be disappointed!
