hot toddy



"the seasons change, the world's a bit older . . ." or so says sam owens. we're officially in fall, and i can barely swallow thanks to a cold i picked up somewhere along my travels. so, for the blog this round we look at a drink that's good for what ails you. along the lines of tea, but with booze, this is a beautiful way to finish a night after a long day of work and a lot of cold weather. the hot toddy:

2oz couvosier (or rum, brandy or whatever else suits.)
lemon
cloves
cinnamon
honey

add booze, a bit of lemon, a bit of honey, cinnamon, and slice of lemon with cloves - top with hot water.

as they say in egypt "fee sahadak!" (the egyptian version of 'cheers')

enjoy.
