When it's chilly outside, there's nothing better than a warm, boozy beverage to warm you from head to toe. This hot toddy combines hot tea — my favorite — and warm spices, plus bourbon and lemon. Bonus: It also makes your home smell wonderful!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring the honey, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tea bags and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the tea to steep.
  2. Pour the mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer over a liquid measuring cup. Stir in the bourbon. Divide the mixture evenly among serving mugs and garnish with lemon wheels and cinnamon sticks.
