How to Make Hot Buttered Rum Base
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the rum (optional - can be omitted or added later per serving).
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. This step helps create a smoother, more flavorful base.
- To serve, add 1 tablespoon of the buttered rum base to each mug.
- Add 1 1/2 ounces of dark rum (or more, to taste).
- Top with 1/2 cup of freshly boiled water.
- Stir well until the base is completely dissolved and the drink is hot and creamy.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of nutmeg (optional).
