Instructions
If you do not have one ingredient or only have powder form, you can
omit and/or substitute. I would recommend the majority not be powder.
As you can see in my alcohol list, there is a nice assortment that
works well in this hot drink. In a large pot, simmer on low/med. heat
all ingredients (minus alcohol) together for 20-30 minutes. Strain and
pour into mugs and add whatever amount of alcohol you wish. Add garnish
if you wish. This will warm you up quite well.
