Here’s a toddy recipe that’s wonderfully warming and good for what ails you. To make one toddy you will need:

Put all of the ingredients into a mug or glass and top up with boiling water (hot just won’t do it). Leave it to steep for about 5 minutes, then sit back, sip, smile, and relax.

For a spicier toddy, add a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger root to the mix. The spicy version is particularly good if you’re suffering from a cold.
