As beautiful as yesterday was, I think we all need a little pick-me-up from today’s weather. Christy’s contribution on how to make the perfect hot toddy comes in just in time. -Leslie
When it is cold and nasty outside nothing takes the chill off better than a hot toddy. Even if you are feeling under the weather this is a perfect drink (remember, no booze with antibiotics!) and will make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Unfortunately, hot alcoholic beverages are a bit of a challenge to find in many of the bars I frequent. Luckily, toddies are wicked easy to make at home and all you need is bourbon or whiskey and a few things you probably already have in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
Whiskey Lemon Honey (Louisiana honey, naturally)Black tea
Are you ready for the recipe? Make some hot tea, then add the remaining ingredients and stir. Yup, that’s it. The beauty of this drink is even people who despise whiskey love toddies. I typically use ½ a lemon for a coffee cup’s worth of tea and a ton of honey, but whatever your preference is, just go for it. So, why are you drinking Theraflu again?
