For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, continuing to cook until it turns a nutty brown and has a fragrant aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. The Tom and Jerry mix can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of bitters to the milk. Adjust the spices to your personal preference. If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, add a bit more of each spice until it reaches your desired taste.
