So first it’s cold, then it’s hot, then it’s cold again. Regardless, make yourself a hot toddy the next time you feel cold or the next time you have a cold — either way it’ll make you feel better.
Hot Toddy
1 1/2 – 2 oz bourbon (or whisk(e)y of your choosing, or brandy, or rum, or really whatever booze floats your boat)
1 tablespoon mild honey (or experiment with other sweetners, like agave or maple syrup)
1 tablespoon mild honey (or experiment with other sweetners, like agave or maple syrup)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or just muddle a nicely sized lemon wedge with the honey)
boiling-hot water
Mix bourbon, honey, and lemon juice in a mug, then top with hot water and stir. Garnish with a lemon. If you’d like, add some whole cloves and/or a cinnamon stick.
