1
Warm the mug
Pour about an ounce of boiling water into the serving mug, swirl to heat the glass, then discard the water.
2
Bloom spices (optional)
Place the whole cloves and (if using) the half star anise and cinnamon stick into the warmed mug to infuse briefly.
3
Combine honey and lemon
Add the honey and fresh lemon juice to the mug. Pour in 1 ounce of the hot water and stir vigorously until the honey dissolves completely and forms a smooth syrup with the lemon.
4
Add whiskey and hot water
Pour the measured whiskey into the mug, then top with the remaining hot water to reach about 6 oz total. Stir gently to combine and adjust sweetness or acidity to taste (add more honey or lemon if desired).
5
Garnish and serve
Garnish with the cinnamon stick and lemon wheel or twist. Leave the cloves in the mug for additional infusion or remove before drinking. Serve immediately while hot.
