Celebrating the fall season with this festive beverage brings people together. I especially love how the spices create an inviting aroma in the home as you simmer the spices in saucepan or better yet a slow cooker.
Enjoy warming your hands around a mug of this hot apple drink, spiced with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Recipe Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
a pinch of ground cloves
½ whole grated nutmeg
2l apple juice
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 scoops vanilla ice cream
*for adult beverages rum can be added
(optional)
apple crisps
METHOD
Step 1
Combine the cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, apple juice and vanilla extract in a large saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
Once the apple juice has warmed through, add the vanilla ice cream and whisk vigorously with a balloon whisk until melted and combined with the hot apple juice – the ice cream should make a frothy top on the juice.
Step 3
Pour a splash of dark rum into the bottom of the adults’ cups and top up with the hot punch. Garnish with apple crisps, if you like.
