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!!
Steps
Stud the orange with the cloves.
Gently melt the butter in a large saucepan before adding the cider.
Continue to heat the cider and butter for about 5 minutes , then add the clove-studded orange and the cinnamon sticks.
Heat gently for a further 5 minutes - do not allow it to come to the boil.
Add the rum and heat for a further minute or two , again do not allow the toddy to come to the boil.
Serve in warmed punch glasses or mugs , add a cinnamon stick to each glass if you wish.
You can add more cider , rum and butter to the pan with the spiced fruit , throughout the evening.
