Hot Toddy Syrup

2 cups soft peppermints (crushed, but that’s optional)

2 cups local honey

1 cup whiskey (your choice)

½ cup lemon juice

water

In a large nonstick pot, add the peppermints and a few tablespoons of water on low heat.

Allow these to begin dissolving; stir constantly. Add more water a little at a time as needed when it becomes too thick to stir.

When all the mints are dissolved, stir in the honey, whiskey, and lemon juice. Bring this to a simmer and leave it there, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. The mixture should become syrupy.

Remove from heat, let cool slightly and carefully pour into mason jars or a decanter. Store covered.

Take 1 to 2 large spoonfuls every night!
