Tips:

  • Use fresh apple cider. Fresh apple cider is the best choice for hot buttered cider. It has a more complex flavor than store-bought apple cider, and it will produce a richer, more flavorful drink.
  • Simmer the cider with spices. Simmering the cider with spices will help to infuse it with flavor. Common spices used in hot buttered cider include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, allspice, or cardamom, to taste.
  • Use a good quality butter. The butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your hot buttered cider. Use a high-quality unsalted butter for the best results.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the cider just before serving. This will help to prevent the butter from becoming greasy and the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Serve hot buttered cider with a garnish. A garnish, such as a cinnamon stick, nutmeg, or whipped cream, will add a festive touch to your drink.

Conclusion:

Hot buttered cider is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its sweet, spicy, and buttery flavor, hot buttered cider is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're feeling chilly, make yourself a cup of hot buttered cider and enjoy!
