Preparation
Chef’s notes
Make it vegan:
Substitute maple syrup for the honey.
Change it up:
Instead of whiskey, use brandy or dark/spiced rum. For extra flavor, you could also steep 1 tea bag (green or black tea) in the hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, or add a splash of apple cider. Change up the garnishes by adding a slice of apple or fresh peeled ginger, whole cloves or anise.
Recommended equipment:
I love my glass mugs (shown) from Crate and Barrel, and this stainless steel jigger is great for measuring liquor.
