Spider's Hot Rum Punch

This isn't the same as the punch I drank at Randall's Ordinary Inn, but it will still hit the spot on a chilly evening.

 
bullet

8 ounces milk

bullet

3 ounces dark rum

bullet

1 teaspoon brown sugar

bullet

1 cinnamon stick

bullet

4 whole cloves

Put the milk into a two-cup glass measuring cup. Stir the sugar into it, then add the cinnamon stick and cloves. Microwave at medium power for four minutes. Let steep for fifteen minutes. Microwave again at medium power for three minutes. Strain into a mug to remove the spices and the skin that might have formed on the milk. Add the rum, stir briefly and enjoy.

You know that I'm not fond of sweets, but you need a little bit of sugar to bring out the flavor of the spices. Use more or less as suits your taste.
