I’m thinking of doing a new series on the blog called I’m Awesome at Turning Manly Drinks Into Girly Drinks. Do you like it?
Okay, maybe it doesn’t need to be a series.
But I am really loving this. Last year, I got hooked on hot toddys (toddies?) and I loved them. This year, I knew I’d make a lot more. With some more foodie experiments and twists and spins, of course…
After I did some bourbon tasting and discovered that maple bourbon is one of the best things known to man, a new girly hot toddy was born.
Maple bourbon + sugar cookie-flavored tea = a girly girl’s hot toddy.
Instead of dessert, try this! It will warm you up, it’s full of sweet maple flavor, plus a hot toddy is an old natural cold remedy! Ha!
It’s this simple:
serves 1
1 sugar cookie tea bag (you can use plain black tea, of course. or anything you like!)
2 oz maple bourbon
2 slices meyer lemon
optional: 1-2 tsp honey*
hot water
* If you’re actually using this as a cold remedy, the honey does have some great soothing qualities, especially for a sore throat. But flavor-wise, the bourbon is plenty sweet; and I know a lot of vegans don’t eat honey. It’s totally optional. I left it out to keep the sugar content down, but if I get a cold, I’ll be adding it to this for sure!
Just mix everything together in a cup of hot water. Sip away 🙂
