Happy Thirsty Thursday! It’s officially getting really chilly outside and as a result my allergies are kicking my butt! Like literally kicking my butt. As a result I am breaking out one of my family’s home remedies that always make you feel a million times better! Have you ever had a Hot Toddy before? If not pay attention, the recipe is below. There is one thing you should know. This recipe is very customizable. If you want it sweeter add more honey, need it stronger add more alcohol. The sky is the limit. This can be made kid friendly by not adding alcohol but I’m not sure it will be quite as effective.
The recipe below is for one cocktail. If you need more just adjust accordingly.
Ingredients:
◦Boiling Hot Water
◦Fresh Lemon
◦Honey
◦Bourbon or whiskey of your choosing
Recipe:
◦Boil water (you will need at least one cup for the drink. You can add more or less water if you prefer.)
◦Once water is boiling pour one cup into mug,
◦Add 2 ounces of Bourbon or Whiskey to mug, (I had Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey in the house so that is what I picked.)
◦Add fresh squeezed lemon juice to you mug, (Again this is to taste. You can use as much or as little as you want. I did about 2 ounces)
◦Add honey. (This is to taste. I personally added about half a tablespoon to the drink.)
◦Enjoy!
Trust me, this is super simple. Even I can make this when I am super sick. Its a great comforting drink and will be an easy get well soon tool for your arsenal.
