How To Make a Rejuvenating Hot Toddy
With this week filled with both National Hot Toddy Day and the infamous Thirsty Thursday, it only seems necessary to share our own rendition of the Classic Hot Toddy. For those of you who are just boarding the toddy train, welcome! This warm and soothing cocktail has many great perks and health benefits. Not only are there many ways to craft a toddy, but it is also great for virtually any circumstance. So get out your Brandy, and start boiling your water because we’re showing you how to make a Rejuvenating Hot Toddy.
About the Toddy
The Hot Toddy is a classic India-born warm beverage. It usually consists of hot water, honey, spices, and a dark liquor such as whiskey, brandy, or rum. This spiked tea, as some may call it, has many benefits for those cold winter days. Not only will it warm your spirits, but it is also a good option for sore throats. With the soothing elements of honey, hot water, and tons of vitamins, you’ll feel better in no time! And if a splash of whiskey doesn’t seal the deal, our rendition also includes green tea and a touch of ACV.
Our Additions
Now, you can certainly opt out, but as tea lovers ourselves, we decided to include Green Tea into our recipe. As one of our favorite brands just so happens to be Celestial Lemon Honey Ginseng, it was a perfect addition. With just 1-2 tea bags, it will transform your beverage in the best way. If you’re looking to boost your immune system, this flavor brings the C with 20% of Vitamin C per serving.
To add the slightest bit of flair and loads of nutrients, we’ve also included a splash of apple cider vinegar into our recipe. As you may know, the benefits of ACV are endless. From weight loss and heart health to digestive support, apple cider vinegar is basically bottled angel water. Just make sure you don’t overdue it as it is very strong in flavor.
Of course, don’t forget to grab some Président brie on the side. We went with the 3 pound wheel for fun but smaller will suffice too. Check out how we made ours via our Instagram below!
