I swear by this hot toddy each winter

Feeling a bit cold? Runny nose? Get your schnauzer into this!

Ingredients

  • Juice of one orange
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 2 teaspoons of honey (add as much or as little to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons of either rum, whiskey or brandy (again as much or as little to taste)
  • Boiled hot water

Directions

  1. Boil a kettle and whilst that’s boiling, juice a lemon and an orange.
  2. Add the juices, whiskey and honey into a large mug that will hold at least a pint of liquid.
  3. Top up with boiling water and stir until the honey has melted and is dissolved.
