Spice Toddy

The Hot Toddy has a rich and varied history. Originating in India during British rule in the 1610s, it derived its name from the Hindi word “taddy” and was initially made with fermented palm sap. Over time, the British claimed it as their own and incorporated hot water, spices, and sugar into the drink, making it a popular pub staple in England. Another account attributes the creation of the Hot Toddy to an Irish doctor named Robert Bentley Todd, who prescribed a mixture of hot brandy, water, cinnamon, and sugar to his patients. It is likely that the true story is a combination of both narratives, with influences from India and medical practices. The Hot Toddy eventually made its way to the United States, where it remains a favorite during cold winters. American variations, such as fruit-infused versions, have further enhanced its appeal and popularity as a comforting and flavorful hot alcoholic beverage.

For a delightful twist on the Hot Toddy, why not try the Spice Toddy using the Seedlip Garden 94 recipe from Seedlip?
