CELEBRATION HOT RUM BUTTERED CIDER - CIDER HOT TODDY
This spiced and hot rum buttered cider toddy is a wonderful drink throughout the cold winter months, and is perfect during the Festive Holiday Season as well. I use Scrumpy or local French Breton cloudy cider for this, which I believe is called Hard Cider in North America. Serve the hot rum buttered cider toddy in attractive warmed glasses and float a cinnamon stick on the top for that extra touch!

Tips:
- Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter flavor and a thinner rind, making them easier to zest.
- Zest the oranges finely: This will help release the citrus oils and add more flavor to your dish.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides a more intense flavor compared to ground ginger.
- Filter the cider: Straining the mulled cider through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve will remove any solids, resulting in a smoother drink.
- Garnish with orange slices and cinnamon sticks: This adds a festive touch and extra flavor to your cider.
Conclusion:
