I used to make pounds of the batter during the winter months just to have on hand. If you make a bunch, it’s easy to roll into a log and then just slice off pieces as you need…

• 3 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp allspice
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• pinch salt

Mix all ingredients well and place in refrigerator until ready to use.

To make a cuppa:

Place a heaping tablespoon of batter in a mug. Add rum, and then add almost-boiling water. Stir.
