Hot Buttered Rum

Okay, not a food recipe, but this is one of my favorite drinks, and it's so good in the winter.  The extra butter keeps well in the fridge for a few weeks, and you can use it to make individual servings easily whenever you want.

1 stick unsalted butter, softened (leave out the salt below if you're using salted butter)
2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch salt
Dark rum (I usually use spiced rum like Captain Morgan's, and it works well for this.)
Boiling water

Cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.  Refrigerate until almost firm.  Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the butter mixture into a mug.  Add 3 ounces of rum and top with boiling water.  Stir well and serve immediately.
