Cozy Hot Toddy Recipe
Description
The Hot Toddy is made by steeping whole cinnamon sticks and cloves in boiling water or hot tea, infusing the liquid with their warm, spicy aroma. Stirring in honey and dark rum adds sweetness and warmth, while fresh lemon juice provides bright acidity that balances the drink. Lemon slices garnish the mug, adding a fresh scent and subtle flavor.
This preparation yields a soothing, mildly spiced drink well suited for relaxation or comfort during colder weather. Optional tea bags can be added during steeping for additional flavor complexity. Rum may be substituted with whiskey or bourbon according to preference.
