One more drink for Yule

Since I have yet to meet any of the Pagans here in Istanbul, I have decided to celebrate Yule on December 25, the birth day of Mithras. I will be hosting a dinner for members of my department. My plan is to make a hot, satisfying drink to warm my guests as they arrive. The following recipe serves 30 - perfect for a serious party!
