Ingredients
Yield: 1 servings
- 1/2 cup boiling water*
- 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced (optional*)
- 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 to 3 teaspoons honey
- 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) whiskey
- optional garnishes: cinnamon stick, star anise, whole cloves, lemon slice/peel, or fresh ginger slice
Method
Brew the ginger tea (skippable): Pour boiling water into a separate mug or measuring glass and mix in the fresh ginger slices. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain out the ginger slices. (If you do not want to use ginger, just skip this step completely.)
Warm the serving mug. While the fresh ginger tea is steeping, pour some extra hot water into the mug you are going to use for the hot toddy and let it rest for 1 minute to warm up the mug, then pour out and discard the water.
Stir the hot toddy. Tip in the lemon juice and honey to the hot mug, pour in the ginger tea, and stir together until the honey is completely melted. Tip in the whiskey and briefly stir to combine. Taste and add extra honey if you would like a sweeter drink.
Plate Plate hot, topped with any of your desired garnishes, and enjoy!
