Humble Cuisine - COCKTAILS AT SIX: A WARMING HOT TODDY In reality...

Humble Cuisine

            about this blog!



              i enjoy cooking.

           it's as simple as that.         (sometimes i'll even bake,

          if i have the patience.)

     i am definitely a fan of things

       like butter and bacon, but

       i also believe it is absolutely    possible to cook incredible meals

           that are also healthy

         and low-fat/low calorie.

       i especially love discovering

        new recipes, techniques,

     and cooking/kitchen products,

and now i can share them with you,

  as well as my personal endeavors!

COCKTAILS AT SIX: A WARMING HOT TODDY In reality it is still bitter cold outside and it can be so hard to warm up in the evenings. Worse yet, I can just feel that ‘I’m coming down with something’ fatigue about to rear it’s ugly head. What to do? I recommend building up that fire, drawing a hot bubble bath - and of course mix up a teakettle of hot toddies. You’ll feel toasty again in no time. Hot Toddy 1 oz brandy 1 tsp honey 1/4 lemon 1 tea bag 1 cup hot water Coat the bottom of a mug with honey. Add the brandy and the fresh juice of 1/4 lemon. Heat water and steep the tea bag to your liking. Pour the tea into the glass and stir. Garnish with a cinnamon stick + lemon slice. Serves 1. (via coco+kelley)
