Getting Hot in May: Limonada Caliente con Ron, Canela y Clavo (Hot lemonade with rum, cinnamon and c 
It has been raining cats and dogs recently in the tropics, that's why sometimes a warm drink, with a full body and delicious spices is the best answer to warm all us up. Pure coziness.
Why would you enjoy preparing this drink? Well, just because I can sense the sinfully delight it will bring to your life, AND because:
- You probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen.
- It is easy to prepare, just a few steps, that's it.
- It looks beautiful and it is really fragrant. Convinced?
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (or lemon if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup honey or light brown sugar to taste
- 1 stick cinnamon and 2-3 whole cloves
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- Garnish: lime or lemon slices
Directions:
- Combine the water, lime juice, honey, cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until honey disolves. Remove from heat and stir in the rum. Pour the beverage into mugs or glasses and garnish with lime slices.
Enjoy hot or cold! Try it and you will experience what I am talking about. Trust me on this one!

I LOVE Quito, it’s such a lovely city. I guess “puro de caña” is what we know as aguardiente. I bet it was good
Once in Bariloche, Argentina I had a warm drink made with red wine, fruit juice and plenty spices…wow, that was cool! I still remember it after many years

Melissa - Your limonada recipe sounds divine! I think I might try making it without the rum.
05.05.07 at 07:54 AM |
Hola Ed! yes, it is also delicious without the rum, or as Jeremy suggested…with orange juice is quite good too!

Suena genial esta limonada y como dicen arriba me recuerda muchísimo al “Canelazo” Ecuatoriano que probé en la linda ciudad de Cuenca por primera vez y luego en Quito para olvidarse un poquito del frio :D

That sounds like it would be REALLY good, M.! It’s still cold enough here in The Great White North to warrant the need for such a warm drink.
Hello again from Nerissa! Been too long! Hope you’ll visit my site again :D

EC, nunca he visitado Cuenca…pero si hace frio rico como en Quito, seguro que una bebida como esta ayuda
Nerissa!!!!!!!!! glad to see you are back…I always go to your blog and your flickr too. I am heading over there right now
Have a nice, warm Sunday!

Ron, clavo, canela y el jugo de ese limón intenso y ácido que crece en Panamá... Mmm. No me imagino beberla en el frío de Quito, Bogotá, Boquete o el Great White North… Sí me la imagino helada sobre la cubierta de un barco o a la orilla de la playa, refrescándome el calor de una tarde tropical…
Felicidades, Melissa.
Saludos, JLRP

JL, ya la hicistes poesía…por eso me encanta leerte!
Al leer tu comparación he imaginado las sensaciones: Al beber algo así en frío se calientan las orejas (verídico). Al beber algo así en calor se calientan las ideas…

P.D.: ya se, ya se…te estoy quedando mal, pero un día de estos les sorprendo!

Ron Abuelo es excelente! Y es panameño , no?

05.13.07 at 08:36 AM |
Hola Antonio!!! gracias por la visita…Si, Ron Abuelo es de Panama
Sabes, no tengo idea de porque no se puede comentar con org. Les estoy enviando la pregunta a typepad para qver que es lo que pasa con eso. Que tengas un buen domingo!

Outstanding recipe. Instead of orange, lemon or lime, how about some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice?
05.15.07 at 08:35 AM |
Hola Shawn! I have never tried it with grapefruit juice, but I bet it would be delicious
Have a tasty day…
