Serving: 1
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 tablespoon cold salted butter, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

- In your chosen mug, combine half of the butter, maple syrup, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

- Use the back of a spoon to mix the butter with the spices until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Pour in the rest of the hot cider.
- Stir the mixture. If you’re using a cinnamon stick, this is the perfect time to use it for stirring. It will also give an additional layer of flavor.
- To finish off, float the remaining half of the butter on top.
