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:

  • 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.
