The hot toddy, a favorite winter warmer, is sipped as a soothing tonic before bedtime, or as relief to cold, wet weather. It was named for the toddy drink in India, created from a drink of the toddy palm, then carried to Scotland by the East India Company as a hot whiskey drink of water, honey, herbs, and spices. Each Lemon Ginger Hot Toddy Kit includes three muslin spice bags with drawstrings, cinnamon sticks, lemongrass, ginger, and lemon peel.
