Tea Hot Toddy
Description
The Tea Hot Toddy blends a steeped herbal tea base with an ounce of bourbon whiskey and honey sweetened to preference. Lemon slices provide a bright citrus note, freshening the drink. Brewing the tea for 2-3 minutes ensures a gentle infusion that melds well with the bourbon.
The flavor profile is lightly floral and sweet from the honey, with warming alcohol depth and a subtle tartness from the lemon. The drink is served hot with lemon slices left in the cup for added aroma and slight acidity to balance the smoothness.
This Hot Toddy is ideal for sipping on cold evenings or when seeking a calming warm beverage. Adjust honey amounts to taste and use different herbal teas according to preference.
