hot toddy recipe
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup water
- 1.5 ounces whiskey (bourbon, rye, or Irish whiskey)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey, to taste
- 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
- 1 cinnamon stick (for garnish)
- 1 lemon slice (for garnish)
- Optional: 2 whole cloves
Instructions
- Bring about 1 cup of water to a boil using a kettle or a small saucepan. You only need 3/4 of a cup for the drink, but having a little extra ensures you can pre-warm your mug if desired.
- While the water is heating, pour the whiskey, honey, and lemon juice into a heat-safe mug. If you like a spicier flavor, you can press two cloves into your lemon slice at this stage.
- Pour the hot water into the mug over the whiskey mixture. Use a spoon or a cinnamon stick to stir the drink thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved into the liquid.
- Add a fresh cinnamon stick and your lemon slice to the mug. Let it sit for about a minute to allow the flavors to meld together and reach a comfortable drinking temperature.
