Learn how to make a hot toddy with peppermint, lemon, and honey infused whiskey. This is an old fashioned drink recipe that's often used to relieve the symptoms of cough and cold.

I like this recipe because I can make the infusion and then use it to make a hot toddy. When I'm sick, I don't want to be messing with a lot of ingredients. I want something simple to make. This does have whiskey in it, so it's for 21+. Be responsible and do not drive even with a small dose.

I used honey, lemon slices, and peppermint candies. The candies are shelf stable, so I don't have to worry about it spoiling. You should remove the lemon slices after 48 hours. Then this whiskey mixture is shelf stable and ready for when you want to make a hot toddy.

You can take a tablespoon of the mixture alone or use it to make a hot toddy. I have a recipe without peppermint in my how to make homemade cough syrup post.
