Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Consider using a dairy-free alternative for dietary restrictions.
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar Light brown sugar can substitute but will give a slightly different taste.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Make sure it's fresh for the best flavor impact.
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger Grated fresh ginger can intensify the flavor profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Use freshly grated nutmeg for a bold scent.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves Clove oil can be a substitute in very tiny amounts.
For the Drink
  • 1 cup boiling water Adjust the quantity to achieve your desired strength.
  • 1 cup brandy Whiskey or spiced rum can be swapped for variation.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Steps to Prepare
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter together with dark brown sugar and spices over low heat until fully combined and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the boiling water and brandy until everything is well blended. The mixture should be creamy and aromatic.
  3. Carefully pour the warm mixture into mugs, filling them about three-quarters full. This recipe yields about four servings, so share the love!
  4. Enhance the presentation by garnishing each mug with a whole cinnamon stick for that extra touch of warmth and spice.

Notes

For an added treat, sprinkle a little nutmeg on top before serving! Using fresh spices and good-quality brandy significantly enhances the flavor. Enjoy the drink immediately after preparation while it's warm.
