Wow, susie cooks this recipe is awesome. I so enjoyed this quick and easy to make drink. It was perfection, this sweet and spicy, warming treat had a beautiful thick, velvety texture. I must confess that I made half a batch and drank it all myself over two days. I enjoyed it hot and also chilled with ice. I can't wait to try this with vodka over the holidays. Thanks so much for sharing.
