How to Make Emergency Hot Buttered Cider

  1. In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine 1 (64-ounce) bottle apple cider, 8 packets of buttered rum mix, and 2 cups of water.
  2. Stir well to ensure the buttered rum mix is fully dissolved.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour or until steaming hot.
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for at least 30 minutes, keeping the lid securely on to maintain the alcohol content.
  5. Before serving, reserve 4 packets of buttered rum mix for non-alcoholic versions for kids or designated drivers. Stir the reserved mix into individual mugs or a separate container.
  6. Ladle the hot buttered rum cider into mugs and garnish with cinnamon sticks or orange slices (optional).
