I thought they were hot water, whiskey and honey. Ends up its this.

1 oz brandy, whiskey or rum
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 lemon
1 cup hot water
1 tea bag

Preparation:

Coat the bottom of a mug or an Irish coffee glass with honey.
Add the liquor and the juice of the lemon quarter.
On the side, heat water in a tea kettle and add the tea bag to make hot tea.
Pour the steaming tea into the glass and stir.

Well nice.

Last winter when I was was dying of man flu and out of whisky, ‘er indoors cooked up a toddy of sorts from Calvados, apple juice and spices. Even better than the real thing.

Tea in a toddy?

Bizarre 😯

The tanin in the tea adds to the peatyness of the whiskey.

Yup what’s up with the Tea Bag thing there just odd

Hot whisky macs are even better.

On the side, heat water in a tea kettle and add the tea bag to make hot tea.

Eh? Theres a lot of tea in that sentence, more than in any toddy I’ve tasted!
Will any old kettle do? I dont have a specific tea one. 😆
