Cocktail of the Month: Black Tea Hot Toddy
30
Winter chill is all around. There have been a few days lately that left me feeling as though warming up was hopeless. It doesn't help that I haven't much hair on top. I must admit that I am quite comfortable wearing a winter hat around the house.
To ward off some of the cold, I decided to attack the problem from the inside out. This warm cocktail is a good start. Enjoy it fireside with your fuzzy-socked feet propped up.
