Butter Grog

This is a delish non-alcoholic drink very similar to the wassail recipe that we all like.  We served this at our German themed Christmas-Eve-Eve.  It called for 2 tsp rum extract but we left that out because really, there's not need for it.

Butter Grog

1 1/2 Tbsp butter
4 C. apple cider
1 Tbsp brown sugar
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
peel from 1 lemon
peel and juice from 1 orange
1" piece ginger root, sliced

Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan.  Add the cider, brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon, lemon and orange peels, orange juice and ginger.  Bring the liquid to a simmer, and then remove pan from the heat.  Let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes.  Strain and reheat to serve warm.
