Happy Holidays

In light of the upcoming holiday season, I wanted to share a little treat with all of my fellow Ole Miss Rebels, a Hot Tea Toddy (say it fast).  This little delight comes courtesy of the Food Network magazine on "50 Holiday Drinks" and is super easy to make. This is a three-stepper and sure to warm even the coldest Rebel nose.

What you need: 
1 tea bag
1 star anise pod
3/4 cup water
1 ounce brandy
2 teaspoons honey
lemon juice
cinnamon stick


Step 1: Steep 1 tea bag and 1 star anise pod in 3/4 cup hot water for 5 minutes
Step 2: Add 1 ounce brandy, 2 teaspoons honey, splash of lemon juice to taste
Step 3: Garnish with 1 cinnamon stick


Enjoy & Happy Holidays, HOTTY TODDY!
