On a cold
winter evening I love nothing more than a nice cup of Hot Buttered Rum. You know that recipe that has all the spices, butter and brown sugar mixed into a half gallon of French vanilla ice cream? Yeah, well this isn't that recipe.
If I made that
stuff I'd eat all with a spoon and it would most likely never make it in a
cup. Not to mention I'd never be able to
leave the house because I wouldn't fit through the door. Ha, ha!
This recipe
is a pretty good one minus the ice cream and what I like is that I can make it
right in my cup and just one serving at a time.
It is simple, thrifty and downright delicious!
Hot Buttered
Rum
1 tsp butter
1 1/2 tsp
brown sugar
1 shot glass
of spiced rum
Dash of
cinnamon
Dash of
nutmeg
Boiling water
In a coffee
cup or mug place butter, sugar and rum.
Fill cup with boiling water.
Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir and enjoy!
Not as decadent
as the ice cream version to be sure, but not a bad substitution either.
I bought the store version of hot buttered rum mix to try and thought it was disgusting! I'm not sure if it was the mix or the rum I didn't like. I'm going to give it another shot with a couple more different recipes and see if I like it. I remember my parents always had some mix in the freezer when I was growing up!

My folks did too and I used to sneak into the freezer with a spoon and sneak some when they weren't looking. :)
DeleteThis recipe is a good one too when you have a cold. Cures what ails you!
