Let’s break out the cider

My mother brought over a jug of apple cider. I am finally in the mood to warm some up and drink it. I think I will make it like Mom would ;)

Iris’ Carafe: Hot Apple Cider

Iris’s Carafe

It is getting colder outside, which makes me want to curl up with a cup of something hot. My beverage of choice right now is hot apple cider.

I have found the best way for me to enjoy my cider is by warming it on the stove. I want it warm enough that it is steaming, so I can sip it a little. Try adding a hint of cinnamon right before you serve it. For a little more zest add a little (brandy).

Ps. It is also called MULLED apple cider ;)

Talk about a warm drink! Thanks (mom) Iris for your awesome take on how to enjoy hot apple cider this chilly fall season.

Wake Up Club: What’s in YOUR cup?

Wake Up Club Banner

Now this isn’t barring tea or cocoa enthusiasts, as we all know that there are many among us. So tell me what are you drinking? Why did you pick that today? Any special thoughts on your hot beverage of choice? You can do this one every day, week, or whenever you get up and have a hankering for something steamy.. (get your mind out of the gutter LOL).

Today I have Vanilla, Caramel, and Kahlua coffee with a van/caramel creamer. I chose it because I adore the taste of caramel. I also have decaf cause Lord KNOWS I can’t have caffeine today.

If you want to steal my graphic, be my guest:

Turkey Hill Maple Coffee from Canada

P1030317 (by SockMopTart)My buddy Brenna came over yesterday and gave me some items directly from her trip to Canada. One of them was the Turkey Hill Maple Coffee that I tried today. It’s 100% maple syrup in 100% Columbian coffee. You can’t smell the maple, you can see it in the grounds. Even when it’s brewed, you cannot smell the maple. It smells more like burnt coffee. The first taste you get is FULL BODIED Columbian coffee… the after taste of maple only shows up in the back of your throat after you have sipped a few times. I am undecided as to what to think on this, but the Columbian coffee of it is rather bitter. Overall, not my cup of tea…but it was fun to try something so different.
