Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup hot water Use hot, but not boiling.
  • 1-2 oz whiskey Choose a smooth, high-quality whiskey.
  • 1 tablespoon honey Can substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh is best; bottled can work in a pinch.
  • 1 slice lemon For garnish.
  • 1 cinnamon stick Optional garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a heatproof glass, combine 1 cup of hot water, 1-2 ounces of whiskey, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  2. Stir the mixture well until the honey is fully dissolved in the warm water. This will ensure sweetness is evenly distributed.
  3. For extra flavor, add a slice of lemon on top and a cinnamon stick if you desire.
  4. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your soothing Hot Toddy Honey Lemon Whiskey while it’s still warm.

Notes

Avoid using boiling water as it may affect the flavors. Stir well to ensure the honey dissolves completely. For a non-alcoholic version, replace whiskey with herbal tea.
