Note

Hot toddy - hot alcoholic drink based on tea or water.
According to one version, he came to us from the East Indies. On the other - from Ireland. But in one and in another case, the story says that it was invented exclusively for the fairer sex. The strong taste of the rum was harsh and unpleasant, and burned the delicate throats of the women. In order to alleviate their fate, it was decided to mix a strong alcoholic drink with water. And after adding sugar or honey to them, a pleasant taste and fragrant aroma was obtained.
As alcohol can be used not only rum, but also whiskey, brandy, calvados, gin, cognac and even vodka (for example, "Pertsovka"). And in addition to honey, you can sweeten it with sugar syrup or just sugar (cane).
If in the classic recipe you replace lemon with apple, rum with calvados and add a pinch of nutmeg, you get "Apple Toddy".
"Hot Toddy" is drunk cold or hot, but it is especially popular in winter and is served hot in this case.

A variation of the classic hot spiced Toddy:
- 50 ml of rum,
- 1 tsp grenadine,
- 150 ml hot water,
- 1 tsp black tea,
- lemon, orange - 1/4 each,
- mint leaves,
- a pinch of ground cinnamon and cloves.

Brew black tea.
Chop orange and lemon finely. Place the sliced ​​citrus fruits in the bottom of the glass. Sprinkle the fruit with ground cinnamon and cloves.
Pour rum, tea and grenadine over the fruit.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Decorate the glass with a sprig of mint.

* I cook Toddy at home according to the classic recipe without spices, only I use not simple black tea, but a bouquet: black tea, orange peels, rose petals, pieces of cinnamon sticks and almond slices.
