I Like to Cook
I'm getting sick, and the only good thing to come out of that is a hot toddy. Here's how to make the best hot toddy ever:
- 1 cup of hot tea (black or roiboos but whatever you like)
- some spices - I used a cinnamon stick, a 1/2 tsp allspice, and a 1/2 tsp cloves
- a thumb of fresh ginger
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- lemon to taste
- a shot or two of rum or bourbon
Brew the tea, then steep in the spices and ginger. Strain into a mug, add the cayenne, honey, lemon, and booze. Feel like life is worth living again. The mixture of cayenne and ginger feels amazing on a sore throat.
