Why This Recipe Works
Arguably the king of hot drinks, the toddy essentially comprises a spirit, hot water, sometimes citrus or spices, and a sweetener (often honey, or maple syrup in Canada, or, in its original form in British-controlled India, fermented palm sap). We don't think a hot toddy should be reserved as only a cold or cough remedy (though many of us in the test kitchen swear by it for that purpose). Made well, it is a delicious cup of comfort to be enjoyed all winter long. Don't look for any fancy mixing methods here; just stir everything together, wrap your hands around the steaming cup, and enjoy.
