How to Make Buttered Rum Spiced Cider

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups apple cider, 4 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 cinnamon sticks.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the cider is fragrant and slightly reduced.
  4. Carefully strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks.
  5. In each mug, add 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon (12g) packed light brown sugar.
  6. Pour 1-2 ounces (30-60ml) of dark rum into each mug.
  7. Fill each mug with the hot spiced cider.
  8. Gently stir to combine and melt the butter and sugar.
  9. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or apple slice (optional). Enjoy!
