Opinions differ about the origin of the name "toddy." Some believe the name derives from Indian languages such as Hindu, Marathi, or even Sanskrit. Others believe in a Scottish toddy enthusiast named "Tod" (Scots for "fox").

Whatever its origins—and no one knows with any certainty—it's widely agreed that hot toddies are warming wintertime drinks. Toddy enthusiasts imbibe simply because it's a pleasingly sweet and aromatic wintertime drink.

The drink can be prepared with hot water, apple cider, or, as in this recipe, tea. But the hot toddy is pleasant, and when we're feeling a little chill in the air, sipping something enjoyable can help you feel just a little bit better.

"This was a delicious, warming, spicy, fun beverage. I used all the optional flavorings, which I felt really enhanced the tea. You can sweeten the drink as much as you like with honey. I used whiskey for the liquor because I love the way it smells." —Diana Andrews

Tips

  • For the tea, a strong Keemun black tea is highly recommended.
  • Keep the toddy warm longer by heating the mug while the tea steeps. To do so, pour hot water into the mug or microwave the water-filled mug for about 10 seconds.
  • Pack the tea and cloves into a tea ball to eliminate the need to strain it after steeping. If you don't have loose leaf tea, a single tea bag will do. Either method also allows you to heat the water in a tea kettle and steep the tea and spices directly in your mug. If you like, keep the cinnamon stick and star anise for added flavor as you drink.
  • Strong, dark honey is an ideal fit for a flavorful black tea, though any honey is a good sweetener.
  • Irish whiskey, bourbon, or a spicy rye whiskey all make great toddies.

Recipe Variations

  • Use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten the toddy. It has the same richness and is vegan.
  • Instead of a liquid sweetener, stir 1 tablespoon of granulated white sugar into the brewed tea.
  • Skip the liquor and enjoy a hot not toddy.
