So if you’re ever feeling a little under the weather or you just need a warm pick me up – the whiskey works, trust me.
Whiskey – Use your preference. If you’re not a fan of whiskey, you can you can try it out with white, dark, or spiced rum, bourbon, cognac, or brandy. Honey – Use as much or as little as you like. This is going to add sweetness to our drink. Honey helps soothe the throat! Lemon – You’ll want fresh lemons because we need both the juice and a round for garnish. Hot Water – You want boiling water, just as you would for tea! Cinnamon – I like to use fresh cinnamon sticks, but ground cinnamon will work as well. You can again, use as much or as little as you’d like. Star Anise – This ingredient is optional, but I like to add one in my hot toddy because it looks pretty.
How To Make The Perfect Hot Toddy
The secret here is playing with the amounts of honey and lemon juice. Taste and adjust as necessary. I like mine a bit sweeter so I tend to add more honey than in the recipe, but make it as you like.
