Method
- Heat the butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup (to taste) and ground cinnamon in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until combined.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the dark, golden or spiced rum to a mug, then pour over the hot chocolate mixture.
- To serve, add the whipped whipping cream, cinnamon stick and grating of dark chocolate, if you like.
- Tip: The sweetness will depend on both the amount of maple syrup and the type of rum you use, so go easy on the maple syrup to start with.
