Author Notes
This is a hot toddy recipe taught to me by a woman from Haiti who I worked with a couple of years ago. She billed it as a good way to cure or prevent colds - which is what hot toddies were originally for anyway as I understand it - but I think it tastes fabulous! The cayenne adds a spicy kick with each sip. Keeping colds away is just an extra bonus! —fiveandspice
