Notes
- Milk – You can use either low fat or full fat milk.
- If you don’t have cinnamon on hand, you can omit it.
- Brown sugar can be substituted with white sugar or honey or maple syrup. Add as much as you like.
- Rum – you can add somewhere between 1-2 tablespoons. You can add more of course, but this I find too strong to my liking.
- Measurements: ml = milliliters, g = grams. To measure milk, I used measuring cup for dry ingredients.
