This aromatic hot tea drink fills the house with comforting scents of fall. Pour it into mugs and savor the warm flavors of honey, apples and spices. To make it a toddy, replace ¾ cup of the water with ¾ cup of apple-flavored bourbon.
A heartwarming blend of freshly brewed Luzianne Tea and a homemade spiced butter that melts perfectly into every sip. Prepare the easy spiced butter from scratch to add some holiday flavor to each mug served.
Pure maple syrup, boiled down into a sweet elixir from the sap of the New England maple tree, is the foundation for this uniquely American hot toddy. Using single serve tea, you’ll have this comforting cold-weather drink in just a minute or two.
For fall tailgating, holiday entertaining, or anytime there’s a chill in the air, get cozy quick with this seasonal sipper full of fall spices. To keep it hot for a party, ladle it out of a slow cooker set to a low temperature.
