Tippling Tuesday: The Sober Edition
Were you a bit too good at pretending to be Irish yesterday? Chances are, spending another night imbibing doesn’t sound all that much fun. So tonight, why not tipple something non-alcoholic but still yummy, like the hot caramel apple cider recipe below?
Hot Caramel Apple Cider
(Serves 1)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1 1/2 tablespoons caramel sauce or caramels, dip
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in a sauce pan.
2. Heat on medium-high, stirring constantly, until caramel is melted and cider is hot.
3. Pour into a mug and enjoy.
For those of you bent on getting bent, you could always substitute Apfelkorn for half of the cider. But just remember: it takes around 10 days for those liver cells to regenerate, so giving yours a break might not be such a bad idea.

simmering the Apfelkorn will cook off the alcohol. If you want to keep the alcohol content, you need to add the Apfelkorn after you are done simmering.

Well, don’t boil it and don’t let it sit on the burner for more than 10 minutes. Oh, and keeping a lid over it causes the alcohol to condense and drip back in.
Interesting to note that you get far fewer comments for a non-alcoholic Tippling Tuesday.
lattegirl’s last blog post..Hork!
Yeah, I noticed that, too. What a bunch of lushes bloggers are!
This sounds fabulous. I am imagining cupping my hands around a bowl-sized mugful of this, breathing in the cinnamony sweet steam. My hands are so cold, right now. Brrrr….need…warm…cider…
It’s yummy stuff, although I made mine without Apfelkorn.
Btw, how ya been Jami?
