Glasgow Hot Toddy

A Glasgow Hot Toddy warms any chilly day with Scotch whisky, honey, heated with boiling water infused with a clove-studded lemon slice.  Normally this would be made 'to suit' allowing flexibility in measurements of the ingredients.  This recipe is my favorite combination and one to be enjoyed fireside when ever the mood strikes.

Instructions

  • Add the whisky and honey to the glass/mug and pour in the boiling water.
