In a medium saucepan, pour in 4 cups of fresh, unfiltered apple cider. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cider is steaming but not boiling.

While the cider is warming, grab your serving glasses and place them on a stable surface. Scoop two generous scoops of high-quality vanilla ice cream into each glass.

Once the cider is warmed, carefully pour the steaming cider over the scoops of ice cream in each glass.

Add a cinnamon stick in each glass, followed by a generous dollop of homemade whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Serve the drinks while they are warm, allowing everyone to experience the beautiful contrast between the hot cider and the cold ice cream.
