2 oz glayva scotch liqueur
1/2 oz dark creme de cacao
1 Tbsp honey or brown sugar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 tea bag

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.

  • Garnish with a lemon twist or orange peel. This will add a bright, citrusy flavor to your toddy.
