Sure is cold out there. Know what you need? A hot toddy.
Is it really Toddy? That sounds like a muddied American version of Tottie. Or is it spelled Totty? Who cares. It may be terribly old-fashioned, but it works. Warms your cockles AND makes your snifflies feel better before bed.
Think of it as Moonshined Nyquil.
Here’s what you need. C’mon, it’s easy:
First, you’ll need the obvious curative:
Then fill the bottom of your mug with honey. THEN…
Finally, make tea. Because isn’t tea really the important part of all of this?
Notice I’m not giving measurements. Your hot toddy may differ from my hot toddy. You may choose TWO ounces of liquor instead of the customary one, for example. No judgement here.
Fill your mug with tea. Stir.

this is lovely. make these all the time. minus the lemon, minus the tea, add ice. 🙂
That sounds about right to me…;-)
Ah, hot toddy time! I make it with apple brandy, honey, lemon, cinnamon, cloves, butter and boiling water. Thanks for reminding me!
You make yours exactly like I make mine!! Agreed – excellent curative.
My Irish grandmother was right!
Love mine made with bourbon! 😉
