Stuart wants a hot toddy... by marlboromaam

Stuart wants a hot toddy...

So he can swim in it! I could use one myself. My internet has been down for almost two days! That's AT&T for ya. Will catch up with all of you as fast as I can and as long as I still have internet. It's kind of iffy at this point.

In the meantime, My father's recipe for hot buttered rum is a big request from friends this time of year, especially when it's cold. Guaranteed to warm you right up!

Ingredients for my dad's hot buttered rum recipe:
Your favorite rum - I prefer Captain Morgan's spiced rum
Apple Cider - it really is better if you use Bragg's unpasteurized and it can be found in the cooler section of your grocery store.
Real butter - margarine just doesn't work and ruins the taste
Cinnamon sticks
Nutmeg

Heat your apple cider on the stove top to a low bubble. Pour two fingers of rum in your mug. Add one pat - one slice (about 1 tablespoon) of butter. Add a good pinch of nutmeg. Put in your cinnamon stick and pour your hot apple cider into your mug - fill it up. Stir with your cinnamon stick, sit back, savor the flavors and let it warm your innards right up! Yum!

@phil_howcroft Oh, that's a shame. It's a great hot toddy to warm you from the cold. Stuart does get around sometimes. =)
