{Do It Yourself} Hot Toddy // A Cold Remedy

In honor of the strep throat and cold I've caught, I figured I'd share a favorite remedy of mine....the oh so delicious Hot Toddy.

you will need - 

1 microwaveable coffee mug

1 or 2 ounces whiskey

4 ounces hot water

1/2 a lemon

1 tablespoon of raw honey

1 cinnamon stick (optional) 

how to - 

Pour 2 ounces (or just 1 if you prefer) of whiskey into your microwaveable coffee mug. Next mix in your 1 tablespoon of honey (preferably local and raw honey). Squeeze the lemon juice of the 1/2 lemon you have into your mug and then pour in the hot water. Stir and enjoy. :-) 

side notes - 

• You can use the cinnamon stick for garnish in your hot toddy - it will add a nice hint of cinnamon flavor.
• If your drink isn't as warm as you'd like it, microwave it for a minute. 
• This is a great drink for when you're fighting a cold or feeling icky.
