Spiced Cider Drink that 's not a Rip-off
(Or how to not spend $2.55 (!) at your local nationwide coffee-house)
From Trader Joe's, pick up some spiced apple cider. (If you don't have Trader Joe's, substitute, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a titch of ground cloves to your apple cider.) Buy some good whippped cream in a can, and for the caramel, Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch-Caramel sauce, in the ice cream section. It also helps to have some lovely flowers in the background, courtesey of my husband.
Pour about this much into your mug. Heat in the microwave.
Squirt. (Hold can straight up, for you neophytes.)
Drizzle the caramel over the whipped cream. I heated the sauce as well--better drizzle action that way. (Tip: more caramel is not better. Just more.)
Stir.
Serve with Mom's cranberry bread, and those nice flowers.
Congratulations. You just saved yourself $2.55 and a lot of guilt.
