Cozy Up with a Honeylicious Hot Toddy

Hot toddies are one of the original hot cocktails, and in its most basic form, the drink is simply hot water sweetened with honey, balanced with lemon, and spiked with whiskey. But I love to make mine with honey whiskey, which gives it a little something extra!

Ingreadient

    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 3 ounces honey whiskey
    • 2 bags black tea
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 12 whole cloves
    • 2 lemon slices

Direction

  1. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
  2. Between two mugs, add the lemon juice, honey, honey whiskey, tea bags, and cinnamon. Pour the hot water over the ingredients and allow the tea to steep for about 3 minutes.
  3. Remove the tea bags and stir the hot toddy until well blended.
  4. To garnish, stick a few cloves (pointy ends in) through a slice of lemon. Float a clove-studded lemon in each mug and serve.
