Hot Caramel Apple Juice

Winter will be over officially this coming March 20, so there is still plenty of time to bake bread and make delightful hot beverages. Coming in after doing gardening on a day with brisk winds and a chill in the air, I warm up with some Hot Caramel Apple Juice. Topped with whipped cream/salted caramel sauce and flavoured with vanilla, it's a fragrant joy to sip.


Ingredients are in bold: using the mug from which you are going to drink as a measuring cup, fill it up an inch (2.5 cm) from the top with apple juice. For each serving, put a tablespoon of cream and a teaspoon of sugar, brown or white in a saucepan. Over a medium-low flame, dissolve the sugar in the cream while stirring.


Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and the apple juice. Bring to the desired temperature. Meanwhile whip up some cream.


Pour into a mug, top with whipped cream, and drizzle the salted caramel sauce (store bought or homemade). If the day is particularly cold and windy and you are a bit frazzled, feel free to add more whipped cream and caramel sauce when they eventually melt into the drink. I did.


À la prochaine!
