Mulled Cider

Its the first day of Autumn and I wanted cozy. Cozy is definitely a mug of hot, spiced cider.

Ingredients:

1/4 a gallon of fresh cider (I like Honeycrisp cider)

1 cinnamon stick

1/4 tsp Anise seeds

2 slices of fresh Ginger root

6 whole Cloves

The peel of 1 Lemon

Put all ingredients into a pot and simmer over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and serve between 2 large mugs.

LARPmom’s Insomniac Milk

I have two kids. So that means I have had two pregnancies where, at about 3 months in, suddenly I could not sleep. Bad insomnia, and terrible indigestion. The only thing that helped was this milk. I doubt you’d need to be pregnant to enjoy this. Just…brush your teeth before you go back to sleep. Cavities and all.

Here’s the Recipe:

LARPmom’s Insomniac Milk

  • 8oz while milk
  • 1-2 tsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • A pinch of Nutmeg

Whisk in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and milk is hot but not boiling. Pour into a mug and sip.
