Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider spiced
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce or to taste, salted
Instructions
- Add 2 cups of spiced apple cider to a saucepan and turn the heat to high. Boil until it has reduced to about 1/2 cup of liquid, stirring occasionally. In a large saucepan, this took almost exactly 15 minutes. In a small saucepan, it took more like a half hour.
- Transfer to a container and chill completely. You can freeze for one hour, or stick it in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream to a blender. Add the reduced cider. Add 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce. Blend until smooth. Add more regular apple cider if it is too thick, or more ice cream if it's too thin.
- Serve with additional caramel drizzled on top.

Notes
- The deliciousness of this shake depends a great deal on the quality of the ingredients. I mean, there are only 3. Buy the good stuff.
