Nonalcoholic Caramel Apple Hot Toddy Mocktail:
Save this Nonalcoholic Caramel Apple Hot Toddy Mocktail to try later. You can drink all fall and winter long—no apple orchard selfie required. This spin on the traditional hot toddy. I love squeezing a fresh clementine into it. The caramel sauce is super simple.
If you are short on time, skip the syrup and add 2–3 Tbsp. of apple cider, 1 Tbsp. of your favorite sweetener, and 1/16 tsp. cinnamon (smallest pinch). The sliced apple really makes this drink for me, it’s like apple pie without all the work!

Mug Mindfulness Full Transcript:
Hey it's chef Carla and welcome to your mug mindfulness practice. I invite you to get whatever beverage you like hot or cold and place your hands around it and really feel the temperature here is it hot. Is it cold if it's too hot. Maybe you want to pull your hands back, just a tiny bit. Really be in the presence of the mug.
I'm going to invite you to take a deep breath in your nose and a deep breath out your nose or mouth. There's nothing else to do. There's nowhere else to go. There's nothing else to think of you're simply having an experience with your beverage right now I'm to invite you to take one more deep breath in your nose and a deep breath out your nose or mouth I'm going to invite you to smell the beverage really take an inhale here and what does it smell like.
Can you imagine what it tastes like go ahead and take a sip. What is the flavor? What is the temperature? How does it feel in your mouth? I would invite you to take another deep breath in your nose. And a deep breath out your nose or mouth and I hope that you enjoy your cup I'm sending you so much. Love bye.
This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
