DR. PAT'S HOT TODDY COLD REMEDY
Okay, so our family doctor suggested this instead of prescription cough syrup for relieving the cold symptoms of the ADULTS in our family (he of course, did NOT suggest it as a CURE). He says the whisky helps you sleep while the honey and lemon soothe your throat. I'm pretty sure it works, but in the end we really don't care because we love this warm drink when we aren't feeling well. Even sometimes when we are feeling well! UPDATE: Our beloved Dr. Pat passed away November 19,2010 at the age of 59 from Melanoma so now this recipe with all of it's great reviews is even more special to our family. We will miss you forever Pat!!!

Steps:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from orange and 1 lemon in wide strips, leaving white pith behind; slice fruit in half. Squeeze juice from orange into a small bowl (you should have about 1/4 cup). Squeeze juice from lemon into a measuring glass. Slice remaining lemons in half and squeeze juice into glass to measure 1 cup total; save any remaining lemon halves for another use. Set orange and lemon juice aside.
- Place zest in a small saucepan. Whack cinnamon sticks with the side of a chef's knife to break up a little and add to saucepan along with smashed ginger, tea bags, cloves, and 1 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat; let sit 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, then stir in honey; let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Strain tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher and add rye, bitters, and reserved orange juice and lemon juice. Add 2 cups ice and stir until ice is melted and toddy is very cold.
- To serve, pour toddy into tumblers filled with ice and garnish with ginger slices and orange twists.
- Do Ahead
- Tea mixture can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Toddy can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to create a delicious and balanced cold toddy. High-quality whiskey or bourbon, pure honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice are essential.
- Experiment with Different Whiskeys: Explore different types of whiskeys to find your favorite for cold toddies. Bourbon, rye, and Irish whiskey all work well.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Honey adds sweetness and helps balance the tartness of lemon juice. Adjust the amount of honey according to your preference.
- Fresh Lemon Juice is Key: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Avoid bottled lemon juice, which can taste artificial.
- Chill Your Glassware: Pre-chill your glass or mug before making the cold toddy. This will help keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Garnish for Visual Appeal: Add a lemon twist or cinnamon stick to your cold toddy for a touch of visual appeal and extra flavor.
