Heat and lemon turn this popular soft drink into a soothing warm beverage and a great remedy for a cough or sore throat.
1 can (12 ounce size) Dr. Pepper
2 slices lemon
Heat the Dr. Pepper in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring it just to a simmer.
Place a lemon slice in the bottom of each individual heat-proof mug. Carefully pour the hot Dr. Pepper over the lemon slices. Serve immediately.
Try different citrus fruits like orange or lime for a variety.
Add a cinnamon stick or a dash of ground cinnamon for a warm and cozy touch.
For a sweeter version, stir in a spoonful of honey or maple syrup after heating.
Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract for a different flavor.
Heating the Dr Pepper helps to enhance the flavors and create a soothing beverage, perfect for a cough or sore throat. It was first created in the 1950s and remained popular through the 1970s.
It's not recommended as diet sodas can turn bitter when heated due to the sugar substitute.
You can add honey or other sweeteners including artificial sugar to adjust the sweetness of the drink.
Serve hot Dr. Pepper immediately in heat-proof mugs with a slice of lemon at the bottom for added flavor and aroma.
The Dr Pepper will lose its fizz after a while so it really doesn't store well.
You can change up your hot Dr. Pepper by adding different spices like cinnamon, cloves, or ginger for different flavor.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
