Method
Hot Toddy Base
Heat water
Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to just under a boil. Ideally heat to around 85–95°C (185–203°F) — steaming but not violently boiling.
Prepare cup
Warm a mug by pouring a little of the hot water in, swishing, then discarding that water. This keeps the drink hot longer.
Add 2 tablespoons of whiskey to the warmed mug.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until dissolved.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
Pour the remaining hot water into the mug and stir to combine. Taste and adjust: add extra honey if you prefer sweeter, or another 1/2 tablespoon lemon for more brightness.
Garnish & Aromatics
Add 1 cinnamon stick as a stirrer and to infuse warm spice aroma. Let steep for 1–2 minutes before sipping.
