RECIPE: Hot Buttered Golden Slumber (by Liz Scott, Zero-Proof Cocktails) (paraphrased and photographed by Mirkwood)

Ingredients - Serves 1: 

• 1 chamomile tea bag
• 1 small sprig of dried culinary lavender
• 3/4 cup boiling water
• 1 tablespoon Sweet Spiced Butter (see recipe below)
• Cinnamon stick, for garnish

Instructions: (Mirkwood’s Tips and notes are in italics and parentheses.)

1. Put tea bag and lavender in a mug, add the boiling water and let steep until golden, about three minutes. (Careful it doesn’t get too cold.)
2. Remove the tea bag and lavender.
3.  Add the butter (this works better if the butter is soft), stir gently, and serve garnished with the cinnamon stick.

Sweet Spiced Butter Ingredients:

• 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of ground allspice

Instructions: 

1. Combine EVERY INGREDIENT in a medium-sized bowl. Stir with a fork until well combined.
2. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log-ish shape.
3. Store in refrigerator - will keep up to two weeks. Makes about 3/4 cup.

(Mirkwood’s note: This recipe, as near as I can tell, is the non-alcoholic equivalent of hot buttered rum. It’s a lot better than you’d think.)
