A quick, warm apple cider recipe topped with whipped cream and salted caramel. It’s like drinking a Fall dessert!
I think I have told you that I caught a terrible cold… I’ve been quite sick for almost 2 weeks so far.
When I don’t feel well, the only thing that I want to have is something light and nutritious– for example, a piping hot bowl of my Grandma’s chicken soup or cauliflower curry soup.
That is why today I am making this cozy Quick Salted Caramel Apple Cider. As always, I want to share my Apple Cider Recipe with you.
Our Quick Caramel Apple Cider has warm spice and apple notes combined with the creaminess of the whipped cream, as well as the contrasting flavors of rich sweet caramel and sea salt.
It is a drink to please any palate, while at the same time warming up the body, wouldn’t you agree?
Even if you are not a fan of combining salty and sweet profile flavors together, you can still enjoy this drink — just skip the sea salt. Yes, it’s as easy as that! 🙂
Try it and you’ll get hooked on this fantastic caramel apple cider. Enjoy, and stay warm!
