Hot Toddy Recipe

The best hot drink for cold autumn and winter days

A perfect mix of warming whisky, bright lemon, sweet honey, and aromatic spices

You will need:

• 50 ml of your favourite Whisky/Whiskey

• 2-3 tsp honey

• 1/2 lemon (2/3 slices of lemon plus 2 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice)

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 2-3 cloves

• 150 ml hot water

How to:

1. In a 250 ml cup/heatproof glass mug, mix the honey, whisky and lemon juice with a splash of water.

2. Add the rest of the boiling water and mix well

3. Add the lemon slices, cloves and cinnamon stick and leave it to cool down slightly

4. Enjoy!

• If cinnamon or cloves are not your favourite, then by all means, please enjoy this delicious drink without them. What you mainly need is honey, lemon and, of course, whisky.

• You can use Scotch, Irish Whiskey or Bourbon, depending on what you like and what you have available.

• I suggest starting with 2 tsp of honey and adding more if you need to

• You can always add a few extra bits if you want to play around with the flavours - chamomile, turmeric, and ginger are usually my go-to

• If you can't have honey, agave syrup, or even brown sugar are great substitutes

As always, please drink responsibly.
