Classic Hot Toddy

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Hot Toddy is the Scottish answer to cold winter nights and the onset of a cold. It's not just a drink; it's a warming 'potion' where honey soothes the throat, lemon provides Vitamin C, and whiskey... well, whiskey comforts the soul and warms the body.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heatproof Glass Mug: For safety and presentation.
  • Citrus Press: For fresh juice.

Instructions

1 ✓

Boil water and pour it into the glass to preheat it, then discard the water.

Tip: Preheating prevents the glass from cracking (thermal shock) and keeps the drink hot longer.
2 ✓

Add honey and whiskey to the bottom of the glass, and squeeze in some lemon juice.

Tip: Honey dissolves much faster in the warm alcohol than in plain water.
3 ✓

Top with fresh hot water and stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Tip: Let the water cool slightly off the boil so it doesn't burn your tongue or evaporate the alcohol immediately.
4 ✓

Garnish with a lemon slice and a cinnamon stick.

Tip: Inhaling the steam infused with lemon and cinnamon is part of the soothing experience.
