Another recipe from my great-grandmother's kitchen. I never experienced her making it myself, she died when I was too young to drink it because hers contained alcohol, but my grandmother was kind enough to make a virgin version for the grand-kids and non-drinking adults around dinner and let the drinkers add a shot of their own. I asked her for the recipe when I was old enough to be making stuff for myself and she happily gave it to me. It's been one of the best things I bring to parties warm drink wise, and people are always asking what's in it and are surprised at how simple the ingredients are so here goes!
You'll Need The Following;
This is literally the easiest things ever. Put your water, spice mix, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a large pot and boil. Then let it boil for about 10 minutes. I highly recommend using cinnamon sticks if you can, as powdered cinnamon doesn't dissolve and will muddy the mix but don't worry if all you have/can afford is powdered.
Pour the mix into cups and add a few caramel candies. Stir until they are dissolved, drink and enjoy! If you want to add a shot of alcohol I suggest whiskey or bourbon, that seems to be the favorite for the holiday drinkers in my family :)
All pictures here were taken by me specifically for this post. I have been a home cook for over a decade, and any questions or comments about this recipe are encouraged!
