For me, the holidays bring freezing temperatures. I live in
Alaska, where December is cold and dark. During this time I look forward to
imbibing in my favorite seasonal drink. Yes, basically it’s a stick of butter,
sugar, and ice cream, but that’s the point—right?
Before
finding this delectable drink I tried a lot of other things—mulled wine from a
vendor in Germany, spiced cider on the east coast, but nothing satisfied my
caramel sugar craving like hot buttered rum. And the good part is you can drink
with or without the rum. Not that I like my kids to get all sugared up, but at
least they can enjoy it too.
So here’s my recipe—a little holiday tradition I want to
share. Enjoy.
1.
Combine
sugar, brown sugar and butter in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat,
stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (6-8 min).
2. Combine cooked mixture with ice-cream in a large mixing bowl, and beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often until smooth (1-2 min). Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks or frozen up to one month. I use an ice cream pail. It works great and it’s easy to scoop.
3. For each serving, fill one-quarter of a mug with mixture, add one ounce rum and three-quarters of a cup of boiling water. Sprinkle with nutmeg (If you want. I don’t like nutmeg so I use cinnamon).

Rell has lived in the Shadow World for thirteen years as a
Demon Bane, the formerly vivacious young woman now the demonic enemy of the
immortal Bringers. But when she is given the chance to become human again—and a
full-powered Bringer—Rell isn’t sure if it’s better to be a demon in the Shadow
World or to risk her life for her humanity.
For two years, Siban had been tortured in the Bane prison,
only to fall in love with the beautiful demon who helped him escape. Tormented
by the thought of never seeing her again, he maintains a life of solitude. So,
when Rell’s human body is rescued from the Shadow World, he will do anything to
be with her—even if it means challenging death to become a Bringer, too.
