There is so much I love about fall and winter – the change of colors in the foliage, cooler temperatures, decorations, holidays, family time, sitting by the fire and of course the warm drinks!
Our team has been playing around in the kitchen lately experimenting with different recipes for the season and other than the fact that I have probably gained 10 pounds trying everything – it’s been a lot of fun. You may have seen our new creation of Lavender Earl Grey Tea Bread, which everyone is raving about (you can get that recipe HERE) or maybe you’ve tested out our adult version of our famous Lavender Lemonade – but with the colder temperatures here to stay we knew it was time to get back to the kitchen and get moving on our seasonal warm drink recipes.
What’s better than the simple ingredients of a classic hot toddy combined with the calming effects of lavender? Not much, right?!?!
Why lavender?
Our lavender syrup essentially replaces honey in an original hot toddy. Lavender is shown to improve sleep, reduce anxiety and create a soothing calming effect so adding it to our hot toddy creates our own version of a “chill pill”. It’s one of the reasons we also love our Lavender Earl Grey Tea Blend (check it out HERE).
Alcohol or No?
Our youngest is not old enough to drink, yet he likes to partake in our taste tests when we are creating new masterpieces. He requested, that we make a non-alcoholic version of the hot toddy so he could try it! Super simple! Just remove the whiskey and BAM a hot drink your kids will love when they come inside after playing in the snow!
BEST Lavender Hot Toddy
The hot toddy is one of the easiest drinks to infuse other flavors into. How about using your favorite tea instead of hot water? Maybe add some muddled cranberries to the bottom of your mug. You could replace the lavender syrup with a lavender honey! The ideas are endless and so easy to customize to what you like. What do you like in your hot toddy? If you try our recipe, be sure to tag us and let us know how it turns out!
Now, it’s time for you to drink your own “chill pill”, grab a blanket and settle down in front of the fireplace – because “Baby, it’s cold outside”!
