I grew up associating the smell of this with the Holidays - my mother is Swedish and always made this for the grownups. When I was 10 she let me taste, and when I was in my teens I was allowed 1 very small demi-tasse on Christmas Eve. Sweeten to your own tastes, garnish as you like. We always had slivered almonds and dried currants in ours. It works well in the slow-cooker, as well.
