Tips

  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can use a sauce-pan set on low. Just watch that it doesn't boil. 195° is the optimal temperature.
  • Feel free to modify the ingredients as you like. This is not a rigid recipe.
  • You can omit the sugar in the cooking stage and add it in the mugs.
  • Cinnamon sticks work well. Add 2 whole, unbroken sticks to the pot, then one each to the mugs.

Warnings

  • Stir occasionally. Sometimes the cinnamon will burn if it clumps in the bottom.

Things You'll Need

  • 2-quart Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot, or Saucepan
  • 6 mugs
