For Hot Butter Rum Spiced Cider,(non-alcoholic beverage): I like to warm a cup of apple cider or juice in a saucepan or the microwave. Then I simply spoon about 2 teaspoons of the mix into it and stir until it melts. Garnish with a cinnamon stick stirrer if you'd like.
For Spiced Hot Buttered Rum Punch, (with alcohol beverage): Combine all of the mix with 3-1/2 cups of water and 1-1/4 cups of spiced rum in a small punch bowl, stirring until the butter mixture melts. Serve warm with cinnamon-stick stirrers, if desired.
