INGREDIENTS

50 ml Scotch whisky

20 ml honey

25 ml fresh lemon juice

a pinch of ground cinnamon
or 1 cinnamon stick boiling water, to top up

2 pieces of lemon zest,
studded with cloves,
to garnish

METHOD

Add all the ingredients to a heatproof glass or pewter tankard and stir gently to mix. Top up with boiling water and serve garnished with a piece of lemon zest studded with cloves.

MIX IT UP

A Hot Ginger Toddy is a wonderful variation to try because ginger is the perfect complement to whiskey. Just add 15 ml ginger liqueur in place of the cinnamon and cloves.
