A drink for the Chilly Season: Hot Buttered Rum

Husband and I were thinking, gee it is rather chilly, we should make something warm and yummy to drink. Thus I decided that this recipe should be tried:

Hot Buttered Rum
Ingredients
1 tsp. brown sugar
4 oz. hot milk (use hot water for a lighter texture)
2 oz. dark rum (l prefer Myers's for its richness)
1 Tbs. butter (not margarine)
Ground nutmeg
Directions
Prepare your drinking mug by warming it up. Make sure you're using a heat-resistant mug. Pour piping hot water into it and cover with a small plate. Once warmed, empty the hot water and add brown sugar and hot milk (or fresh, hot water if you prefer). Stir until the sugar dissolves and then add rum. Gently float the butter atop the drink and sprinkle some nutmeg over that.

This was absolute decadence. I will never need another one of these again in my life (that is a lie), but oh man, it was exactly what was needed for the first below 45° evening of the year.
