Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4 lemons divided
- 18 whole cloves
- 6 teaspoons honey
- 6 ounces quality rum
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- 1 whole nutmeg
Instructions
- Fill an electric kettle with 1 1/2 cups of fresh water. Place the kettle on the stand and flip the toggle switch to the ON position.
- Cut three of the lemons in half and cut the fourth into slices. Halve three of the slices to make six half-circles. Stud each half slice with three whole cloves.
- Set out six heat-safe glasses. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into each of the glasses, then top the lemon juice with one teaspoon of honey and an ounce of rum.
- Once the kettle has finished boiling and the toggle switch returns to the OFF position, pour 1/4 cup of freshly boiled water into each glass. Stir until the honey has dissolved.
- Garnish each glass with a clove-studded lemon slice and a cinnamon stick. Grate fresh nutmeg over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
A Hot Rum Toddy is definitely best when it's freshly made, but if you have leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To reheat, gently warm the toddy on the stove over low heat or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling to maintain the flavors and prevent overcooking the ingredients.
