My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

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.
