Happy Happy Monday!!! The countdown is on y’all, it’s T-minus 4 days until Thanksgiving and let’s be real, I have a feeling a lot of us do the majority of cooking the Wednesday before the big day, so we’ve just a got a few days to get ready.
Again, I’m here to (hopefully) relieve some of your cooking stress and offer up a super duper easy and quick drink, that will be perfect to keep around all day for your family and guests to enjoy. I absolutely love apple cider and I love homemade apple cider even more, but like a lot of things made from scratch, that’s a whole lot of work for a simple, albeit wonderful Fall drink.
I like to think that I took the best of both worlds and made a truly wonderful apple cider. Yes, the base of this drink is a store bought apple cider, but I threw in a few things to give it more of a homemade taste, and I think this drink turned out incredible. The smell that will be emanating from your kitchen is just down right heavenly, I promise.
This drink was thrown together in about 5 minutes, and I let it hang out in the crockpot for a couple of hours to really get the flavors from the cinnamon and cloves to meld in and wow, this is some of the best apple cider I’ve ever had. May I suggest to the adults of legal drinking age, possibly throwing in some Brandy? I didn’t try it, but I may do just that on Thanksgiving, because I have a feeling it will be equally as delicious, and fun. Thanks so much for stopping by y’all, and I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful day. Please, none of you stress yourself out too much with the cooking 😀
