Notes
- To make ahead:
- Nutrition shown is for 1 cup (8 ounces), without optional whipped cream
- You can buy my double walled glass bistro mugs here.
- Make the butter/spice mixture (you can double or triple the recipe)
- Roll it into a log, just like cookie dough, and wrap tightly in plastic.
- When ready to use, just slice off the amount you need: allow approximately 1 tablespoon per serving.
- The log will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
