Cool evenings are perfect for enjoying this toddy. Infused with spicy ginger, smooth honey and aromatic turmeric, it then gets a kick from your chosen alcohol.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup honey
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 cups apple cider
8 thin slices fresh ginger
2 whole star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
bourbon or whiskey
METHOD
Stir the honey and turmeric together in a medium saucepan. Place the grated ginger in a piece of muslin and squeeze the juice into the saucepan, discarding the flesh.
