Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ginger Infusion Technique 🍵Grate fresh ginger instead of using powdered to release more intense, vibrant flavors and maximize the medicinal benefits of the root.
- Bourbon Selection Secrets 🥃Choose a smooth, slightly sweet bourbon like Maker's Mark to complement the tea's warmth and balance the spicy ginger notes.
- Honey Harmony Hack 🍯Warm your honey slightly before adding to the toddy to help it dissolve more easily and create a smoother, more integrated drink.
- Tea Steeping Precision ☕Steep black tea for exactly 3-4 minutes to avoid bitterness while extracting maximum flavor and complexity for your hot toddy.
- Citrus Zest Boost 🍋Add a small strip of lemon zest to the drink for an extra layer of aromatic citrus oil that elevates the entire cocktail's flavor profile.
