Ingredients
Scale
2 ounces Whiskey
1 ounce Apple Cider
1/2 ounce Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup
1 Cinnamon Stick (for garnish and infusion)
Hot Water
Instructions
Gather your ingredients. You will need a mug that can hold hot liquid.
Pour the whiskey, apple cider, lemon juice, and honey into the mug.
Add one cinnamon stick to the mug.
Carefully fill the rest of the mug with hot water, leaving a small space at the top.
Stir gently until the honey dissolves completely.
Taste the toddy. Add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
Garnish with the cinnamon stick. Enjoy your warm drink immediately.
Notes
You can substitute the whiskey with spiced rum for a different flavor profile.
If you don’t have fresh lemon juice, bottled juice works, but fresh is best.
Use high-quality apple cider for the best apple flavor.
Anya suggests gently warming the apple cider before adding it to the drink for extra warmth.
