Warm Caramel Apple Cider.....

Last Friday I did a post on a drink, Maple Limeade, and I am back again with another drink "recipe"...only this one is even more enthralling! Apple cider (especially hot apple cider) is one of my favorite drinks of the fall/holiday season, and its even better when you doll it up with a little caramel. Here's how to make this super yummy cider!

Hot Caramel Apple Cider:

-8.oz of regular apple cider

-1 tablespoon of caramel sauce or dip

-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

-Whipped cream (optional)

 *Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan, heating over medium heat while stirring. When the caramel is melted and the cider is hot, pour into a mug. Top it off with whipped cream and drizzle the caramel over the cider to your liking. Prepare for heaven! 

I hope you guys enjoy this cozy drink as much as I did, and have a fabulous evening!

Tonight's Love: Maple Limeade

For the past couple days I have been loving to drink a little concoction I like to call Maple Limeade. It began when I saw a bottle of fresh lime juice sitting in the fridge, and then something beautiful happened....

Here's how I did it: 
*the glass I put it in was 16 ounces, but you could cut the recipe in half if you only want 8oz.

-3-4 tablespoons of lime juice (depending on how tart you like it, and you could also use lemon juice)
-2 tablespoons of maple syrup
-15 ounces of water

Just mix everything together and add some ice! Even though you can't taste it too strongly, the maple syrup really compliments the tang of the lime. And it you using all natural syrup, its a great alternative to sugar.

Limes are also know to be great for your hair, skin, teeth and eyes, they help digestion, they're an awesome source of Vitamin C, and their citric acid will even help burn fat, great for anyone out there trying to loose weight. So eat (or in this case, drink) your limes!
