Back in the 70’s hot spiced Dr Pepper used to be popular. I can’t recall the exact recipe. I know it was heated in a pan with a cinnamon stick, maybe a squirt of lemon? and other spices. I’ve tried making it and it just doesn’t come out tasting right anymore. Anyone remember this winter drink? I think booze could be added too. But can’t recall if it was Rum? I used to prefer it non alcoholic. ---

Found it! I was searching for hot Dr Pepper. Mulled Dr Pepper was what I needed to search for.

Let us know if people like it. It looks overly sweet to me. It might be good with well-salted pizza. ---

I plan to only use 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 1/4 cup is too much. Dr Pepper is already sweet. ---

I still fix myself a cup a couple times a year when I want something hot and sweet, generally to ease a cold. But I just heat the Dr Pepper in the microwave and squeeze in a wedge of lemon.
