Our oldest son Chris arrived for Christmas a few years back with this goodie made up and a bottle of good rum. I was a happy cook that year let me tell you!!! I just love this when it gets cold outside. In fact I am cold right now. It must be time!! I do not know where he got this recipe for sure. I think it may have been from Emorel LeGassi on The Food Channel, but again I don't know why I think that as I don't recall if he ever said. We will give him credit just in case.
Anyway here is what you need:
1 stick soft butter
2 C. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
pinch of cloves
pinch of salt
bottle of Dark Rum
Boiling water
Cream together in a bowl the first 6 ingredients until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use in an airtight container. To mix using small mugs spoon 2 T. butter mixture into each mug. Pour about 3 oz. (6 Tablespoons) of dark rum into each mug. This should fill the mug about 1/2 way. Fill the remaining half with freshly boiling water. Stir well ans serve with a cinnamon stick. If you are using larger mugs than the example cites adjust the amounts.
NOTE: 1 oz. = 2 T.
