My office has been plagued by the most awful flu/cold this year. This week it has been my turn to deal with this malady. A good friend recommended I make myself a hot toddy. Initially I did not know how to make one. I asked my friends on facebook if they new of a good recipe. One person replied. I liked her recipe but I felt it needed more. So I made my own modifications and additions. Here is what I came up with. It helped me sleep all night long and I honestly felt better the next morning. I hope it helps you too.
First make the tea....
1 cup of water
2 slices of fresh ginger slices
1 lemon wedge
1 stick of cinnamon bark
Place the all the ingredients in a small saucepan bring to a boil. You will know it's ready when you smell the cinnamon, ginger, and lemon coming from the saucepan.
Now to put the hot toddy together.
1 shot of bourbon or whiskey
1-2 tablespoons of honey
1/2 cup of the tea you just made
Place the strained tea, honey and bourbon in a mug. Stir well and enjoy.
I like to put honey in the leftover tea and enjoy as a wonderfully medicinal chaser to the hot toddy.
