Open in Pepper →Something Warm For Everyone At The Table
Thanksgiving is long, and people are standing around the kitchen for hours before anybody eats. A pitcher of punch and a pot of cocoa on the stove give everyone something to hold, kids included.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the house fills up early, when the little ones want their own special cup, or when somebody at the table just isn't drinking.
Every recipe here skips the alcohol: apple cider mocktail with star anise and cinnamon sticks, autumn harvest punch with apples and rosemary, hocus pocus punch with cider and cranberry juice, and hot chocolate every way you can think of, from white to peppermint to toasted marshmallow.
Quick Tips
- 1
Warm cider low and slow
Heat cider with cinnamon sticks and star anise over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes so it never boils and turns bitter.
- 2
Chop the chocolate fine
Grate or finely chop a chocolate bar before it hits the milk; small pieces melt smooth in about 3 minutes with steady whisking.
- 3
Mix punch just before serving
Add seltzer or sparkling juice in the last 5 minutes so the punch still fizzes when the first glass is poured.
- 4
Chill the cream first
Whip heavy cream straight from the fridge, and put the bowl in the freezer 10 minutes ahead for faster, sturdier peaks.
