Tea Hot Toddy with Ginger

Yield: 1 cocktail
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
This twist on a classic hot toddy combines bourbon, black tea, ginger, lemon, and honey for a comfy cocktail. I love enjoying these toddies on a chilly night next to the fire or when I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c water
  • 2 tsp ginger black tea* (preferably loose leaf)
  • 1 Tbs honey
  • 1 1/2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice, freshly-squeezed
  • Cinnamon sticks and lemon slices, to garnish

Instructions 

  • Start by boiling the water in a hot water kettle or on the stove. Spoon the loose leaf tea into a tea diffuser or tea bag.
  • Place the tea diffuser/bag into a mug and add the boiling water. Steep the tea for 2-3 minutes. Remove the tea diffuser/bag and set aside.
  • Add the honey and stir until completely dissolved. Then, stir in the bourbon and fresh lemon juice until combined.
  • Garnish the toddy with a lemon slice and a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!

Notes

*A note on the tea: If you can't find ginger black tea, you can combine equal parts of black breakfast tea and cracked ginger. Or, you can just brew a few slices of fresh ginger along with your favorite black tea.
