This version of hot mulled apple cider adds a fat pat of butter for festive richness. Feel free to add a shot of liquor, too, if you are so inclined. We used unfiltered apple cider to test this recipe, but you can use your favorite kind.

  • Step 1

    In a heatproof measuring cup and using a microwave, or in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the apple cider until steamy.

  • Step 2

    Put half of the butter, the maple syrup, ginger, nutmeg and cloves into a mug. Add a small amount of the hot cider to soften the butter, then use the back of a spoon to thoroughly combine it with the spices until smooth. Add the remaining cider, stir with a spoon or a cinnamon stick, if using, until combined, and float the remaining butter on top. Serve hot.
