Hot Toddy – A Hug in
a Mug
It seems that nearly everyone is suffering with colds and
flu at the moment. A Hot Toddy is a perfect beverage to relieve those unwanted
symptoms and help you get off to sleep in the evening.
It is usually made with whisky, rum or brandy, mixed with
honey and hot water (tea is sometimes used too). Other spices such as cinnamon may
be added and people often add a slice of lemon.
The other night my brother made me a lovely mug which helped
enormously with my sore throat. Its warming, sweet nature with a little kick
made for a lovely comforting and soothing experience in the midst of a nasty
cold.
To make it
he used a small measure of scotch, a few teaspoons of honey, a dash of lemon
juice, a pre-prepared bag of spices including cloves and usually he would use
equal measures of water to whisky, although I had a more diluted one.
And there
you have it, one of the best drinks to have to take those bunged up blues away!
