Hottie Pa-Toddy

| Just writin' and drinkin' |
Hot toddies are one of those wonderful winter drinks that people love to order and surly bartenders hate to make. So avoid the attitude and make one at home.
Traditional toddy liquors are whiskey, Scotch, brandy or rum; the drinks have historically been mixed up for the treatment of colds. Though the AMA doesn't recommend treating colds with a hot toddy (alcohol is dehydrating), a nice warm drink does help you get to sleep when feeling under the weather.
Hottie Pa-Toddy (with a naughty body)
- Healthy shot of whatever booze you prefer (I like bourbon or rye toddies because of their slight sweetness)
- Cup of strong brewed tea (Chamomile is lovely, or Earl Grey)
- Pour of honey
- Juice of half a lemon
- Slices of lemon stuck with a few cloves, or oranges, or both
Start off with your liquor in glass Irish Coffee mug. Pour the honey in the tea and stir it in. Add the tea to the booze in the snifter and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Throw in the clove-studded lemon slice and drink.
That's nice, isn't it?
