Everyone needs a way to relax themselves at the end of a long day. Some choose television, some a bowl of ice cream, some a good book, and others a nice adult beverage. Before one lays his/her head to rest it is due time to reflect on the actions of the previous hours and ponder what one will do with those to come. Recently I’ve been spending lots of nights contemplating many aspects of my life, and on one recent evening I enjoyed this lovely beverage to get the thoughts flowing. It’s my take on a hot toddy flavored with lemon green tea, star anise, and a cinnamon stick. Whiskey is as good as any therapist if you ask me.
Ingredients:
- 1 bag lemon flavored green tea (or green tea with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice)
- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1+ shot of your favorite whiskey/scotch/bourbon
Procedure:
- Steep tea bag, star anise, and cinnamon in warm/hot water for three minutes.
- Stir in the booze of your choice.
- Drink up and let the mind begin to wander…
Goodnight!
