For today's Thirsty Thursday I will be sharing my recipe for a Hot Apple Cider Toddy. Traditionally this is made with warm milk instead of Apple Cider, and in the past people would drink this before bed, or to help remedy a cold. Nowadays we know that alcohol doesn't do much for helping ward off an infection, because it dehydrates our bodies too much. So I thought making this with Apple Cider instead would make this a great drink for the cold winter months ahead.
Ingredients:
- a shot of whiskey
- Apple Cider
- a Cinnamon stick
- 2 -3 whole cloves
- a dash of ground nutmeg
- a tablespoon of honey
Directions:
Heat enough apple cider for one drink in a small sauce pan, and add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and ground nutmeg.
In a glass (an irish coffee glass would be nice, but I don't own any) coat the bottom with the honey, and then pour the shot of whiskey over it. Once the apple cider has warmed to the desired temperature, about 3 -5 minutes, pour into the glass. You can keep the cloves, and cinnamon stick for in for garnish. Stir and enjoy.
Happy Thirsty Thursday, chris!
