I just love Hot Lemonade! There is something about it. Thanks!
I made this recipe tonight. My roommate and I enjoyed it. It's nice to have another warming drink for the fall and winter besides tea and hot chocolate.
The "dot" of butter gives a nice presentation and an aromatic smell. Instead of using cinnamon sticks, I put a dash of cinnamon on top. Tasty and pretty.
I made this in preparation for a party tonight. It was an interesting mix. However, make sure to have a strainer for the pulp and the seeds. Also it doesn't specify what type of butter to use but some feedback I had was that it didn't have enough butter in it. The drink itself smelt delicious, and had a nice sweet flavor.
sounds good
Combining butter with lemonade... Interesting.
