    With whipped cream and honeyed walnuts, this drink is like a dessert. And when made without the bourbon, it's perfect for children.

      I was expecting a stronger vanilla flavor, but this just didn't deliver. Better results came from simmering apple cider and adding vanilla extract.
      Did not want to make again, but if I did, I would simmer for longer to see if I could get a deeper flavor.
