Notes
Helpful tips
- When making two hot toddies, mix everything in a cocktail shaker. If you’re preparing just one, build it right in the serving glass.
- If you use a glass cocktail shaker, place a metal spoon inside before adding boiling water. This helps prevent the glass from cracking.
- Scoop the honey with that same spoon and pour the hot water over it in the shaker so it melts and mixes easily.
- The star anise garnish is optional, but it adds a lovely flavor and makes the drink look beautiful.
