HOT APPLE TODDY

Servings 2 mugs

Ingredients

  • 700 ml apple juice (not from concentrate)
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • thumb-sized piece ginger roughly chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 shots of bourbon whisky
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • to serve: cinnamon sticks, apple slices, lemon zest - some or none

Instructions

  1. Combine the apple juice, cloves, star anise, ginger and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the spices infuse into the juice.
  2. Meanwhile, divide the bourbon, honey and lemon juice between two mugs, or heatproof glasses.

  3. Strain the apple juice between each mug or glass and give them a good stir, to dissolve the honey. Taste and add a little extra honey, if you would prefer it sweeter.

  4. Either serve the hot apple toddy as it is, or, garnish with any or all of the following: cinnamon stick, apple slices, lemon zest. Drink and get cosy.
