Italian Honey Hot Toddy
Feeling under the weather or just need something soothing and relaxing to sip on? This is it! I have been hooked (and you will be too) on hot toddies for the past few years and they are honestly the first thing I go to when those aches and pains of a cold or flu come on. They are relaxing, therapeutic, satisfying and tasty!
This drink packs a little kick but it is soothing and calming and I find it hard to have just one. I love the balance of tartness and sweetness between the lemon and honey and together they help keep the bourbon (even though I love it) from taking over. As an added bonus, I had some Italian coriander honey on hand which has some added health benefits…and it comes from Italy which helped me turn my Hot Toddy into an Italian Hot Toddy ;)
