Warming Ginger Lemon Hot Toddy with Tetley Lemon and Ginger
A warming spiced hot toddy on a lemon ginger base with whisky, honey and lemon. Easily made alcohol free.
Warming Ginger Lemon Hot Toddy builds the classic winter drink on a strong brew of lemon ginger tea, which gives it real citrus and ginger depth before any spirit goes in. Honey rounds it, a measure of whisky warms it, and it is a lovely thing to wrap your hands around on a cold night.
