Having a Hot Toddy on a chilly evening is one of the things about fall, winter, and spring that I look forward to. There is something about curling up on the couch with a sweet, spicy Hot Toddy and a good movie or book that I just love. I have been making this Hot Toddy with Ginger for years. I always have the ingredients on hand, in case the weather calls for it.
