I made this today and though the flavor of the almond extract stood out, which I enjoyed, the other flavors were masked over. I didnt taste any cinnamon or nutmeg which I expected to stand out a bit more. Thanks for a very easy drink with which I can play around with the ingredients some more. :)

This was very good! Nice flavor for a warm change of hot chocolate first thing in the mornings. I will keep this handy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. VERY GOOD!

This was very very very tastey. It's been so cold in Las Vegas that I needed a hot cup of something and remembered this recipe. It warmed the cockles of my heart. Thanks for a great recipe HotSunday.
