I clicked on the link and looked at that recipe, and oh my, does that ever look good! Yummy! How decadent!

We made hot buttered rum mix all the time at Xmas.

It called for a quart of vanilla ice cream, a lb of butter and a box of brown sugar. Kept it in the freezer. I'm pretty sure that was the recipe. I don't make it as I don't drink now but it was very good with brandy in it as well as rum.

I like hot buttered rum on a cold night, with or without the rum. We used to drink them after skiing. I've never had mine with vanilla ice cream though, sounds delicious. Recently I came across a tin of hot buttered rum mix made by The Spice Hunter that someone had given me. It's still good since it is just a blend of spices in a sealed tin. It contains brown sugar, Chinese cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, cloves, and lemon oil. The recipe just calls for 1 Tbsp of mix, 2 tsp butter, 6 oz boiling water and a jigger of rum. It would be easy to make your own mix. I made it without the rum and it was delicious and smells divine. I even put a tablespoon of it simmering on the stove to enjoy the aroma. It would be really good with vanilla ice cream, in eggnog, or egg mixture for french toast.
