Three festive drinks for the holidays: My twist on the classic hot toddy is heavily spiked - but can also be done to good effect without the brandy if you prefer.
Ingredients:
Quantities are for one person.
1 hibiscus tea bag
1 tbsp of honey
3 -6 tbsp of brandy
Zest of 1/2 orange (use a veggie peeler to peel from the orange)
2 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
3 or 4 cardamom seeds
1 1/4 cups of boiling water
1/4 cup of orange juice
Step by step:
Put all ingredients except the orange juice and brandy into a large mug and allow to steep for 10 mins
Add orange juice and brandy and serve
