This drink might take a bit longer to make but it sure does sound worth it!
Hot Buttered Rum
Hot Buttered Rum is better made with your own house-made spiced rum instead
of store-bought
spiced rum 60ml, see below
boiling hot water 120ml
butter a knob
brown sugar to taste
Garnish with a sprinkling of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick
To make your spiced rum: in a 1 litre glass bottle place
Havana Club Añejo 3-Year 750ml
vanilla bean 1 split lengthwise
whole cloves 3
cinnamon sticks 2
ginger 1 fingertip-sized piece
black peppercorns 5
whole nutmeg ⅛ piece
Steep for 3 to 4 weeks, gently shaking the bottle once every few days. Strain
through a coffee filter, sweeten with sugar to taste and bottle. It can be stored
indefinitely, and the flavour improves with age

I’m so not happy about their newfound use of the word no eheitr. It was inevitable though! Sounds like an overall good appt. We do have giant babies, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon! Them being healthy is all that matters though, of course.
