Ingredients
  

For the butter mixture:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the drink:
  • 2 oz dark rum or spiced rum if that’s your vibe
  • 2 tbsp of the butter mixture
  • ¾ cup hot water almost boiling

Method
 

Make the magic (the butter mixture):
  1. In a bowl, mix together the butter, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla until it’s smooth and creamy. You can store this in the fridge for later. It’ll last a couple of weeks if you don’t eat it by the spoonful first.
Assemble:
  1. In your favorite cozy mug, add about 2 tablespoons of your butter mix and the rum.
  2. Pour in the hot water and stir until everything melts together into this buttery, rich, caramel-y dream.
Top and Enjoy!
  1. Add whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, and enjoy the best five minutes of your day.

Notes

Optional toppings:
Whipped cream
Extra cinnamon or nutmeg for dusting
Cinnamon stick for stirring (makes it feel a little fancy)
