Receta Whiskey Hot Toddy with Honey and Brown Sugar
Whiskey Hot Toddy with Honey and Brown Sugar
So, I’ve been relegated to actually acting sick and ordered to get some bed rest. Like lay in bed. I think they meant ALL DAY. That is so hard, I have pictures to hang and recipes to make and, and, and…and I guess I will listen because I want this scourge to be gone I tell ya!
I decided that I would try one of those home remedies to help relieve this cough; one I made for a friend just recently to soothe her raw throat and dry hack, just an old wives tale mixture of bourbon, honey and lemon. Which is really what is called a Hot Toddy if taken as a libation. OK, I’m ready to libate; if it’s whiskey I need to sleep through the night at least it’s in a concoction that sounds yummy.
I did take the liberty of spicing it up a bit and it hit the spot. I added a bit of brown sugar and used star anise and cinnamon for spices but experiment with what you love. I’m fading fast but this is good enough not only for what ails you but a great warming drink for those nights we are still sure to have before the warmth of spring starts to creep to our doorstep (which by the way we would like to please hurry).
Cheers. And goodnight.
