Hot Toddy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water (double the water if you don’t want it super strong)
  • 2 slices of fresh ginger about 1/4 inch wide
  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (use less if you don’t like it too lemony)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (each broken into two)
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 1 slice of lemon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the water with the fresh ginger added in.
  2. Line up four serving mugs and fill each with 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cinnamon stick, 1 star anise and 2 cardamom pods.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of boiling water into each mug.
  4. Add 1 oz of Bourbon into each mug and stir (at this point, I usually take out all the spices except the star anise)
