Forget Night Nurse, your Mum knows the best thing for a cold or sore throat. Hot Toddy.
Apart from the medicinal aspects of this half forgotten favourite, there’s something strange about steam rising from a whisky glass. Hot Toddy is simply a great drink for a cold night and it makes a good starter on arrival at The Prince.
Here’s how we make our Hot Toddy …
Place a double whisky in a good glass; no need to use a malt, just Famous Grouse or Bells will work well.
Add a generous teaspoonful of honey.
Pop in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm up the whisky.
Squeeze half a lemon into the glass.
Add a couple of cloves and about 200ml (a third of a pint ) of very hot but not boiling water.
Stir well then leave to stand for a minute or two. Add a slice of lemon for garnish. Enjoy whilst still very hot. Cheers.
