Ingredients:

120g
1/2 cup honey
120g
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Glassware: Choose a sturdy heatproof glass or mug for your hot toddy. Pre-warm it by rinsing with hot water to help maintain the temperature of your drink longer.
2. Combine Honey and Whiskey: Pour the 1/2 cup of whiskey and the 1/2 cup of honey into your heatproof glass or mug. Stir well to ensure the honey dissolves fully into the whiskey.
3. Add Lemon Juice: Measure 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and add it to the glass. Stir again to blend the flavors thoroughly.
4. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 cup of hot water (not boiling, but hot enough to steam) into the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
5. Optional Garnishes: For added flavor and presentation, you can garnish your hot toddy with a cinnamon stick, a slice of lemon, or a star anise. These garnishes not only add visual appeal but also infuse the drink with subtle, aromatic notes.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your classic hot toddy while it's warm. Sip slowly to savor the soothing blend of whiskey, honey, and lemon.
