Steps:
- 1. Put the scotch liqueur, creme De cacao, honey, butter and tea bag in a mug.
- 2. Pour the boiling hot water to fill mug and steep for two minutes.
- 3. Take out the tea bag and enjoy your toddy.
Tips:
- Use high-quality tea. The better the tea, the better the toddy. Look for loose-leaf teas or tea bags made with whole leaves.
- Use fresh spices. Whole spices like cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom will give your toddy a more intense flavor than pre-ground spices.
- Sweeten to taste. Honey is a natural sweetener that pairs well with tea, but you can also use sugar or another sweetener of your choice.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or orange peel. This will add a bright, citrusy flavor to your toddy.
