Tips & Tricks (5)

Brew Tea Separately for Control 🫖
Steep the ginger black tea in hot water for 3-5 minutes before adding to bourbon and honey, allowing you to control strength and prevent over-extraction that can create bitterness.
Fresh Ginger Infusion Technique 🧅
Grate or thin-slice fresh ginger and add it directly to the hot tea while steeping for 2-3 minutes to extract maximum spice and warmth, rather than relying solely on ginger tea.
Warm Your Glass First ☕
Pour hot water into your glass 30 seconds before assembly and discard it to prevent thermal shock and keep your toddy at optimal drinking temperature longer.
Honey Dissolving Strategy 🍯
Mix honey with a small amount of hot water or bourbon first to create a syrup before adding to the drink, ensuring it fully dissolves rather than settling at the bottom.
Citrus Garnish Timing 🍋
Add fresh lemon slices and a cinnamon stick as a final garnish just before serving, and lightly express the lemon oils over the drink to enhance aromatics and flavor complexity.
