This recipe is adapted from the Food Network. We made just a couple small changes, including making it dairy-free. See the post above to learn why that made it better!
Author: Alisa Fleming
Recipe type: Drinks
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup dairy-free butter alternative (see post above for recommendations), room temperature
¼ cup honey (can sub agave nectar for strictly vegan)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup spiced rum
2 cups boiling water
Cinnamon sticks, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Put the brown sugar, butter alternative, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a mixing bowl, and whisk or beat with a hand mixer until combined and relatively smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a large glass measuring cup or small pitcher. Add the boiling water and rum, and stir until the buttery-sugar mixture dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Divide the buttered rum between 4 mugs, and serve garnished with a cinnamon stick for stirring. There can be a little separation, but that's part of the experience.
Notes
Small Batches: If you need less than four servings, save any leftover buttery-sugar batter in your refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze it. Use 3 tablespoons spiced rum and ½ cup boiling water per serving.
