Tips
- For a stronger ginger flavor, gently simmer the grated ginger in a small amount of water for 2-3 minutes before adding to the mug.
- Consider adding a dash of Angostura bitters for an added layer of aromatic complexity to your hot toddy.
- If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, though fresh is always preferred for this recipe.
