Ingredients
- 2 tbsp bourbon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup boiling-hot water or brewed chamomile tea
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the bourbon, honey, and fresh lemon juice into a 6-ounce mug to start building the classic hot toddy base.
- Add Hot Liquid: Top off the mixture with 1/4 cup of boiling-hot water or freshly brewed chamomile tea to warm the drink and help dissolve the honey.
- Stir Well: Stir the drink thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved, ensuring the flavors are well blended and the drink is smooth.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the bourbon and increase the honey slightly for sweetness.
- Chamomile tea adds a calming effect, but plain boiling water works just as well.
- Adjust lemon juice and honey to taste for more tartness or sweetness.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
