Apple Cider Hot Toddy Recipe

Bring the water to a simmer and carefully pour it over the tea bag into a standard-sized mug, leaving about an inch of room in your mug for the whiskey and cider.

Let the tea steep for a few minutes, then discard the bag so the tea doesn’t get bitter.

Pour in the whiskey or bourbon and a hefty splash of apple cider.

Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and garnish with lemon slices, a cinnamon stick, and star anise. Sip up.
