Traditionally, hot toddies include whiskey. So I picked up some Jack Daniel's. This southern standby is a staple in my hometown of Saint Louis: a little bit Midwestern, a little bit Southern, and VERY proud of it's contribution to the world of drinking: Budweiser.
Though my family is not big on drinking alcohol, I can appreciate the history behind Jack Daniel's. But as my roommate pointed out, the taste can resemble old bananas.
Regardless, I brewed 2 parts Lipton tea to 1 part Jack, threw in a cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, and a few lemon slices and let the flavors marry.
To be honest, I really didn't like it hot, so I threw it in the fridge overnight. This morning, though, it was chilled and delicious!
Here's my attempt to enjoy it hot in front of the Christmas tree (!)
If you enjoy the taste of Jack and are as eager to get into that cozy, fuzzy Christmas mood as I am, then you should try this recipe!
