Ginger Hot Toddy | Winter cocktails | Kalisa Marie Eats
When the weather turns cold and my nose starts to run I happily turn to the warming power of a hot toddy. My standby recipe is from a friend for hot butter rum that combines lemon juice maple syrup rum boiling water and is topped with a pat of butter.
But I wanted to add a spicy element to the mix. Inspired by a post from this post on The Kitchn I made a ginger tea and spiced it up with rum. The beauty of using ginger tea as the base for the hot toddy is that you can make it as mild or spicy as you like.
If you just want a light ginger flavor boil the mixture for only 5-10 minutes. But for me who is addicted to that little burn in the back of the throat that a good dose of ginger can cause I boil the ginger tea for up to 20 minutes. Add rum or bourbon and you have a winter holiday treat to warm you up or help clear the congestion of a cold.
