Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Cider Float

  • Start by pouring 4 cups of fresh unfiltered apple cider into a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and let the cider warm for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the cider is warming, grab four glasses and use an ice cream scoop to add two generous scoops of quality vanilla ice cream into each one.
  • Once the cider is steaming, carefully pour it over the ice cream scoops in each glass, filling them to the brim.
  • Add a cinnamon stick to each glass for a cozy touch. Then, top the floats with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
  • Serve immediately while they’re still warm for the best flavor experience. Top with optional chopped nuts or apple slices.

Notes

Enjoy the Apple Cider Float immediately after assembly for the best contrast between warm cider and cold ice cream.
