Description

This Non-alcoholic Hot Toddy is a warm, soothing drink perfect for chilly days or when you need a comforting beverage. It features a flavorful blend of black tea, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves simmered to draw out their natural aromas and flavors. The addition of fresh lemon juice brings brightness and a hint of acidity, while honey adds a smooth sweetness, making this drink both cozy and delicious without any alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 black tea bag or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea

Spices and Flavorings

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1-inch piece of ginger root
  • ¼ teaspoon whole cloves

Liquids and Sweeteners

  • 1¼ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tea: Place the black tea bag or loose leaf black tea in a small teapot or French press and set it aside for later use.
  2. Simmer the spices: Break the cinnamon stick into several pieces. Peel the ginger root and slice it thinly. In a small pot, combine the cinnamon pieces, sliced ginger, whole cloves, and water. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for 3 minutes to infuse the water with the warm spice flavors.
  3. Steep the tea: After the spices have simmered, carefully pour the hot water and spice mixture over the tea in the teapot or French press. Let it steep for 5 minutes, allowing the tea and spices to meld together and develop their full flavor.
  4. Strain and serve: Strain the tea and spice infusion into a mug to remove solids. Stir in fresh lemon juice and honey to taste, adjusting sweetness as preferred. Garnish the drink with a slice of lemon and a cinnamon stick for an inviting presentation if desired.
