Made for Comfort Cafe 2009 This is really good stuff. Reduced to 2 cups for myself as I am the coffee drinker in the house. I did not have whole cloves but added in ground. I also left out the brandy as I made this for a morning drink. WIll have to serve this for company and add the brandy in next time. Thank you.

I made a half recipe of this for the *Comfort Cafe* event using brandy & the full amt of cloves as I favor them. As written, it was a bit strong for me ~ but I admit to being a bit of an *alcohol wimp* , so I mellowed it as a pers pref w/a generous amt of the spray variety whipped cream stirred in & liked it a lot. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

My husband and I live in boreingly beautiful San Diego County. We are both retired and have been for 15 years. Before we retired I worked and seldom had time to cook or bake. Now I love to cook even thought there is just the two of us. We have three adult children but only two grandchildren. I am a member of Rotary International and join with my club in many service projects. I like to read, to sew and do ceramics but my real love is traveling. We intend to travel as long as we are both in good health. There is so much to see and so many friends we have not met yet.
