Holiday Recipe Week, Day 3: Warm & Boozy Buttered Cider

You may be completely over the holidays now, but your NYE guests will still expect libations.


This hot buttered cider from The Healthy Voyager will fool your guests into thinking you're all grown up and sophisticated. And if you really can’t stand the thought of another hangover, you can make a special batch, sans rum, for yourself and any under-age party guests.

What You Need

7 cups apple cider, or apple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 (7-inch square) 100 percent cotton cheesecloth 
4 sticks cinnamon
1 teaspoon whole allspice
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 lemon peel, cut into strips
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 tablespoon Earth Balance
6 to 12 apple slices, thinly sliced

How to Make It

Combine the apple cider or apple juice and brown sugar in a large saucepan. For the spice bag, tie cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and lemon peel in the cheesecloth. Add spice bag to cider mixture. Bring cider mixture to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove and discard spice bag. Stir in the rum. Pour cider mixture into mugs. Float about 1/2 teaspoon Earth Balance on each. Top each serving with one or two thin apple slices.
