Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• One shot of your favorite dark alcohol..whiskey, bourbon, scotch, or brandy.

   Hot toddy ingredients...

   Pour the water,the lemon juice, and the alcohol of your choice into a shallow sauce pan and give it a quick stir to blend it up a bit.

2. 
    
   Another hot toddy

   Put the saucepan with the water, alcohol, and lemon juice mixture on the stove over medium heat and stir it occasionally.

3. Heat the contents of the saucepan until it gets hot and begins to steam. You do not have to bring the mixture to a boil, and with the alcohol content, it might not be a good idea.

4. 
    
   A toddy, (or two), by the fire...

   When heated, pour the mixture into a coffee cup. Add honey and/or sugar to taste. This should tickle your taste buds while giving your insides a big, warm hug...lol.
   My grandmother used to say that nothing beat a hot toddy by a cozy fire ... She was a smart woman ..... Enjoy!
