The history of the Hot Toddy goes back several hundreds of years. It probably began in the Bible because they didn’t have ice makers so they all drank their cocktails hot, hence "HOT" Toddy. Get it? Good. I’ll have another.
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup spiced rum
4 tablespoons honey
3 cups boiling water
4 cinnamon sticks
4 lemon slices
Spread sugar on small plate. Dip rims of mugs into cold water. Dip moistened rims of mugs into sugar. Mix rum and honey in 4-cup measuring cup. Add 3 cups boiling water; stir to blend. Divide hot toddy among prepared mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and lemon slices and serve.
