They sell these tins of what they call Hot Buttered Rum mix around the holidays that are basically just fine brown sugar with a ton of spices. It's awesome for sprinkling in and on things all year round - oatmeal, cookies, cereal. I need to remember to grab up a couple of extra this year.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it mix to put in hot buttered rum? Or is it butter and rum flavoured?

Egg nog syrup ingredients: sugar, water, natural and artificial flavorings, citric acid, yellow 5. That's not very informative. I suspect it's just the spices that would go in eggnog, but I am frankly a little afraid and haven't opened it, yet, so I don't know.

For me, the spices that would go in eggnog are cinnamon and nutmeg. I wonder what's all up in there.

Thanks for the suggestions, Hil and Tom. I'll check them out.

Tangentially, now that it is eggnog season, I don't have ready access to fresh eggs. Alas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ever since the Christmas the whole household--including the cats, who got spoonsful in their saucers--came down with salmonella, I use Eggbeaters for my eggnog. Not as good, but almost. I miss whole-egg eggnog. But not enough to risk that misery.

I am not a fan of nog. But here's what's excellent -- S. brought me a gingerbread latte just now and I put whipped cream on it. Nom.

You don't have to risk salmonella to make egg nog with eggs--mine are cooked.

Is it mix to put in hot buttered rum? Or is it butter and rum flavoured?
The former. I just used a bunch of it to sprinkle on top of the olive oil pumpkin*/carrot bread I'm making.
*actually two celebration squashes and an acorn. But that would make the name too long.
