Maybe just a collection of some of my favourite words, maybe the most delightful festive drink to hold between mittened fingers…
Ingredients:
Buttered Rum:
100g Rum
25g Butter
1 Orange, juiced & Zest
Mulled Cider
1 Litre Cider
500ml Fresh Apple Juice
2 Cinnamon Sticks
8 Cloves
2 Star Anise
¼ tsp Fresh Grated Nutmeg
Method:
1. Begin with the Cider. Add the Apple Juice and spices to large pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, add the cider and warm through. Remove from the heat and pop on the lid.
2. For the Rum, add the ingredients to a small pan, bring to a simmer but do not boil.
3. Ladle the cider into glasses, top with 25ml of rum and feel that glow rise from within.
