In spirit of the holidays, here's a recipe I like to do around these days.
2 quarts water
5 cloves
3 sticks of cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 butter stick
2 cups dark rum
Whipped cream
Ground nutmeg
Put all the ingredients except the rum in a pot (cloves can be in a cheesecloth sack for easy removal).
Cook for 5-8 hours (the latter's best, but 5 is enough if ye're not too patient) over a slow-burn and with a lid.
Add the rum. Stir.
Pour into mugs topping with whipped cream (homemade is best) and ground nutmeg.
