Hot Toddy
Ingredients
- ½ cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Simba Mbili ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 to 3 teaspoons honey
- 1 ½ ounces (3 tablespoons) whiskey
Garnishes:
- Cinnamon stick,
- Star anise,
- Simba Mbili whole cloves,
- Lemon slice
- Brew the ginger tea (optional): pour boiling water into a separate mug or measuring glass and stir in the ginger. Steep for 5 minutes.
- Heat 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.
- Mix the hot toddy. ADD The lemon juice and honey to the hot mug, pour in the ginger tea, and stir together until the honey is completely melted. Add the whiskey and briefly stir to combine. Taste and add extra honey if you would like a sweeter drink.
- Serve. SERVE Hot, topped with any of your desired garnishes, and enjoy!
