⏱ 10 min 🍽 Makes 1 glass 📊 Easy 📚 Tea Cocktails (Adults Only)

You'll need

1 tea bag of Tropical Sun Honey and Ginger
200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
35ml whisky
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
2 slices of lemon

Method

Brew strong: steep the bag in the boiled water for 5 minutes, then lift it out.
Stir in the extra honey if you want it sweeter.
Add the whisky and the juice of one lemon slice, and stir.
Pour into a heatproof glass, drop in the second lemon slice, and serve warm.
A honey whisky or a light blended Scotch works better here than a peated variety; the extra sweetness in the tea can tip a heavily peated whisky into sharpness.

What you'll end up with: A warm, comforting toddy with honey and ginger softening a measure of whisky, just the thing on a cold night.
