"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.
Did Andrew mention that you stole my idea for a drinking blog? Oh well, I don't think I actually was going to do it, so I am glad you are. Speaking of stealing, this sounds similar to Grandma Tweet's cold "remedy" actually! Coincidentally, Andrew just made me a gin and tonic! Ok just drunk typing now.....
