Hot Toddy



Scott makes these for me all the time when I'm sick or have a sore throat. It really does help your throat and coat your stomach with a nice warm feeling. We love these!


Warm and toasty and just in time for winter, the Hot Toddy is a classic hot drink. Feel free to experiment with your favorite types of tea or skip it all together and use hot water alone. Most black and green teas mix well with the sweetness of the honey and lemon, but from there it's a personal preference and some interesting toddies are possible. There is also a Gin Toddy that is a great variation of this warm cocktail.
