years ago I used to make deliveries to an old man who would always have hot Dr. Pepper waiting for me on cold mornings.. it was really good! I think he used to heat it in his coffee pot and just keep it warm. I seem to remember him adding something to it... like lemon (but that doesn’t sound quite right)
Lemons are right! (I googled it lol)
Hot Dr Pepper
*
Dr Pepper
*
Thin lemon slices
Pour Dr Pepper into saucepan. Heat* to simmering temperature about 180 degrees F or just below boiling point, (The beverage will appear to be boiling long before if is hot due to the carbonation.) Place a thin slice of fresh lemon in bottom of cup and pour steaming hot Dr Pepper over it.
Serve at once. This drink will be hot - sipping hot or should be about 170 degrees F. when ready to drink.
NOTE: A fresh slice of lemon is required to give the proper taste of Hot Dr Pepper
*Dr. Pepper should only be heated if it is made with pure cane sugar.
If you don’t mind my asking, what part of the country were you in? Texas area as well? I’ve never heard of it so I’m trying to figure out if it’s a regional thing. (I never knew until a couple of years ago that most parts of the country had never heard of sugar cream pie. That is SO unfortunate! lol)
You might very well be right about the lemon. I Googled it and many recipes called for lemon slices. :)
I will definitely pick up some Dr. Pepper tomorrow and try it!
