How to Make Hot Lemon Rum Toddy

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 large lemon), 2 tablespoons honey, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, and a pinch of ground ginger.
  2. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse and the mixture to slightly thicken.
  3. While the mixture simmers, add 1-2 ounces (30-60ml) of dark rum to a large heat-resistant mug.
  4. Carefully pour the contents of the saucepan through a fine-mesh strainer into the mug, removing the solids.
  5. Stir gently to combine the rum and spiced lemon mixture.
  6. Sip slowly while it's hot and enjoy the comforting warmth before bed for a restful night's sleep.
