Hot Toddy part 2!! It's really cold today so I wanted to make another toddy but I don't think I can go for more of the first one I made. It's so boozey. So instead I made one following a recipe by Jamie Oliver.
Mine's a little different. I didn't have any star anise or cloves but I did have cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. I also used twists of lemon and orange. Otherwise I followed the recipe.
Not gonna lie mate it was bland at first. Then I added extra whiskey and GAGGED! But after brewing it in the teapot for a bit and adding a bit more honey it was quite nice. I love whiskey but the ones I own don't seem to work in toddys. The cinnamon and honey saved the day. Jamie said 3 minutes to brew. Nope. Waaaayyyy longer. Otherwise it's a waste of spices.
Maybe I'm just bad at toddys. But I'm not giving up just yet! Next challenge, The Manhattan!

Random: in 2020 I made my own kotatsu! I found the perfect table on the side of the road and pick it up then I ordered the heating element online, screwed onto the table and bought some chairs an extra tabletop. I also had to buy a step down transformer go from Japanese to Australian. Cost about $200 AUD (RRP for JUST a kotatsu base $750 AUD). Best decision I ever made! I love that thing! I'm moving overseas soon and my sister is eyeing it like crazy
No pressure tags
