How to Make a Hot Toddy With Peppermint
- 1). Place the dried peppermint leaves in the bottom of a heat-proof mug. Pour 6 oz. of boiling water over the top of the leaves. Allow the mixture to steep for at least 10 minutes.
- 2). Remove the cover and strain the liquid into another clean, heat-proof mug by pouring it through a small tea strainer or coffee filter. Discard the spent herbs in the garbage can or compost pile.
- 3). Add the rum, honey and brown sugar to the hot toddy mixture. Stir well to combine until the sugar and honey have completely dissolved.
- 4). Garnish the hot toddy mug with a fresh lemon wedge and add a cinnamon stick for stirring, if desired. Serve immediately while the drink is still hot for the best results.
