With a chill in the air, put a fire in his belly
01 Jun 2023
When I was growing up, I never realised why it never bothered my grandfather when he got a cold. I now realise it was because it was the only time my grandmother would let him drink! She had very strict rules about alcohol, but whenever grandad had a cough or a sneeze, she would make him a Hot Toddy or two, purely for 'medicinal' purposes.
Let me share her Hot Toddy Receipe.
Let me share her Hot Toddy Receipe.
- Fill a glass or mug with hot water to warm it up. Let it sit for a minute, then discard the water.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey (adjust to taste) into the glass.
- Squeeze the juice of quarter of a lemon into the glass, remove any seeds.
- Pour in 45ml of whisky
- Top it off with hot water, leaving some space at the top.
- Stir gently until the honey is dissolved. She would add a cinnamon stick for him to stir into the drink for added flavour.
